About 125 walkers participated in the 14th annual Hoofin' It For HART companion walk Saturday, May 2, on the Paul Bunyan Trail in Nisswa.
They raised $16,000 for the Heartland Animal Rescue Team in Baxter. Top fundraisers were Terry Fischer, who collected about $2,000 in pledges, and the Cub Food Team, which collected about $1,500 in pledges.
Fischer has collected between $2,000 and $6,000 annually for the past 14 years for the walk.
