Tractor Run

The 5th Annual Snelling Tractor Run was held Oct. 27. The farm machinery was spiffed up and paraded along the highway in Snelling for the yearly get together.

Peace Officer Memorial Run

On Oct. 6, the Peace Officer Memorial Run of Stanislaus County held their 12th annual half marathon, 5K and kids’ fun run through the streets of downtown Modesto. In 2002 the Peace Officer Memorial Group of Stanislaus County was formed. The primary goals of this non-profit organization are to educate the public about officers who die in the line of duty, to support and assist the families of fallen officers, and to raise public awareness of the Stanislaus County, State and National memorials for fallen officers. The Peace Officer Memorial Run was started in 2012 and is held on the first Sunday of October each year.
