On Friday the weather broke just long enough to shine on a wonderful Essex tradition: the Essex PTO’s Happy as a Clam 5K Race, Walk, and Fun Dash. It was the 15th year of the race, which raises money for Essex Elementary School (EES) programming. Hundreds of locals turned out to race, and fun was had by all. Runners and walkers in the 5K events traveled the EES neighborhood escorted by the Essex Police Department and cheered on by EES staff. At left, this gal in her tutu (over her running shorts) hasn’t yet noticed the event’s official mascot, “Clammy,” but her brother sure has. And he’s excited!
