Saturday, September 01, 2012 Day 1, Chicago to St Louis we
had an amazing breakfast at Lou Mitchell’s. Next stop was Odell IL and as we approached
the wonderful little town of Odell we saw a sign that said, “Welcome to Odell” followed
by another sign saying, “Route 66ers” and still another sign saying, “A Small Town”,
then another wonderful little sign which said, “With a Big Heart” and yet another
sign saying, “Where Everybody” and the last sign said, “Is Somebody”… Therefore, all of the signs together say, “Welcome
to Odell Route 66ers, a small town with a big heart where everybody is
somebody. So, then we went to see the small town where everyone is somebody and
found a delightful little town with a big heart for Route 66 and Route 66ers. Once
we finished our adventure in Odell we traveled to the Museum in Pontiac IL, known
as Pontiac Visitors Center to enjoy the wonderful museum and everything that
comes with it. We were graciously invited in and enjoyed a wonderful walk back
in time at the Pontiac Museum/Visitors Center. Route 66 Association of Illinois is in the
process of partnering with the Ayden Rae Foundation and our Annual Route 66
Run, Relay and Auto Tour. They are already actively considering several different
events along the route in the great state of Illinois for the 2nd
Annual Ayden Rae Foundation Route 66 Run, Relay and Auto Tour in 2013. We are looking
forward to tomorrow when we head to the Chain of Rocks Bridge in St Louis MO. Tomorrow
morning 7am central time we will kick off the 5K Run in St. Louis. Ayden Rae
Foundation Chapter Leader Carla Covin Lowman is super excited to lead the pack
in the 5K Run to create much needed awareness for Hyperemesis Gravidarum. What
an amazing day, we have already created so much HG Awareness and there is still
so much more to come. Stay tuned for more wonderful highlights and adventures
along Route 66 as we continue our Ayden Rae Foundation 1st Annual
Route 66 Run, Relay & Auto Tour.
