It is this time of year that we begin to dream of longer days, warmer temps and outdoor play. But before long, Spring will be upon us and the training countdown will begin for the 3rd Annual Four Seasons Festival 5k/8k races in Polk City. We appreciate your feedback following the 2011 races and are excited to announce several improvements for 2012:
- Expanded age group awards
- Medals for all 5k/8k finishers
- Improved coordination between race finish, awards, and kids’ races
- Expanded post-race food/beverage options
- Plus a few surprises – all for an affordable, family friendly registration fee
We’re pleased that so many of you enjoyed the races in 2011 and we look forward to making a great event even better. As you hang up the 2012 calendar next week, our hope is that you’ll flip ahead, circle Saturday, July 21st, and plan to join us in Polk City once again.
Sincerely,
Greg Bell and Scott Patterson

“The Four Season’s Parade is proud to announce that one of the featured guests for the parade on July 23rd will be the Iowa Scottish Pipes and Drums.
The Iowa Scottish Pipes and Drums are based in Des Moines, IA, and were founded originally from the membership of the Iowa Scottish Heritage Society in 1975. Over the last thirty years the band has played for many high profile events, including the Archbishop of Canterbury’s visit to Iowa, the Inaugural Ball for the Governor of Iowa, the World Scottish Festival in Montreal and the Victorian Society national convention.
The band has opened for The Scottish National Orchestra, The Glengarry Bhoyz and The Elders at concerts sponsored by the Celtic Music Association of Des Moines. In April, 2007, Iowa Scottish opened for “Scottish Rocker” Rod Stewart at the Wells Fargo Arena.
ISP&D has performed at premier central Iowa events including the Des Moines Arts Festival, the Wells Fargo World Food Festival and the HyVee Triathalon. In recent years, the band has increased competitive efforts.
More information can be found on the Iowa Scottish Pipes and Drums can be found at their website at www.iowascottish.com.
