Robbie DeCamp, 8, crossed the nish line with gusto during the 1-mile kids
fun run at the inaugural Tusker Trot on April 27. Over 100 showed up to the IBM
campus for the race, which supported the Somers Special Education Parent Teacher
Association and Primrose PTA. Look for more photos from the race in next week’s
edition. In the meantime, Somers resident Robert Ondrovic has made his photos
available for download at photography.robertondrovic.com/Events/Tusker-Trot-
2019/n-G9nrPn. In lieu of payment, Ondrovic is suggesting a $10 donation
through the race’s website, runsignup.com/Race/NY/Somers/TuskerTrot2019.
