The 6th Annual TaTa Trot sponsored by Oliver Ford and Ounce of Prevention is always the last Saturday in June.
About 100 runners and walkers participated in the 5K and 10K run walk this past Saturday. The annual event is a fundraiser for the 
Nancy Jaynes Memorial Scholarship at Plymouth High School.
