The last walker to finish the race was Francis Hughes, age 76, and it was a great victory as she crossed the finish line with her daughter, Kathleen, by her side. Kathleen flew in from Florida for the purpose of supporting and cheering on her mother every mile of the way. Also, cheering on was her husband, Thomas. The great victory stems from Mrs. Hughes having undergone major surgery a year ago which almost took her life and after the surgery she had to learn to walk again. Today, she finished the 10th Annual Chicken Trot!
