The glowing torch held high, area and local law enforcement personnel Tuesday morning joined athletes from the Barton County Storm Special Olympics Team for the 2018 installment of the annual Torch Run. Officers from Pawnee County and their cohorts from Great Bend and Barton County ran and walked with the team members to Veterans Memorial Park as a “Storm” banner and flashing police car lights noted their arrival. They, and a host of other volunteers, ended up at a shelter house for a picnic lunch and a few words from run organizers.
