ToA 2015

Thank you to everybody who came and to the sponsors, restaurants, other vendors, and entertainers – and a special thank you to title sponsor Lambros Magiafas of Lambros Goldsmiths, who donated two half-carat diamonds, worth $7,000 each, to participants in the Diamond Dash 5K Fun Run. The winners, selected randomly, were Silvia Orellana, 34, of Annandale, and Fernando Sattori, 32, of Springfield.
