In this Sept. 29 photo, Bill the Giant, with painted-on XtraTuf boots, runs down Lincoln Street in Sitka with other participants in the annual Running of the Boots event. The fun run is a fundraiser for the Local Foods Network, with sponsorship from the manufacturer of XtraTuf boots and local merchants. It is part of a celebration that marks the end of the tourist season and the beginning of the rainy season.
