Haley Johnston, 16, of Pinckneyville, douses participants with color powder Monday during the Color Me for Light 5K Run at the Williamson County Fairgrounds in Marion. Johnston was named Miss Southern Illinois Outstanding Teen 2015. About 400 participants took part in the run. The run was the first put on by The Lighthouse Shelter, which took over after the previous organization disbanded. “We were very grateful for that because it’s such a prosperous fundraiser,” said Evelyn Fuqua, volunteer coordinator The Lighthouse Shelter of Marion.
