Tatum Elementary School students recently had an adventure as they took a walking field trip to visit downtown Farmersville.

As part of the Getting Healthy Downtown program, the students walked from the elementary school downtown to the Clay Potter Auction House.

“The children got some healthy exercise as well as a fun downtown experience,” Farmersville Main Street Manager Adah Leah Wolf said.
