OERTHER’S is hosting its annual bed race on Saturday, April 20. It’s the same weekend as the Dark Horse Ribfest, so there’s a lot to do in Marshall’s River District. You have to see a bed race to believe it. Teams make themed beds on wheels and push them through a course, all while there is one person in the bed. It’s fast-paced fun — or slow-paced depending on how the bed was engineered.
“When I run an event at OERTHER’S I do it with the intent to have fun, make it fun for the people who participate and laugh along the way,” said Kathleen Oerther, owner of OERTHER’S and SPRUCE STREET LANDSCAPE.
When Oerther brought a bed race back to Marshall in 2017, her friends thought she was crazy for doing it. Yet, for Oerther, it was another way to support her community — because that’s what she does. In fact, most of the events hosted by OERTHER’S are geared toward some community need through a non-endowed fund the Oerther family has established at the Marshall Community Foundation. The funds go to support things like:
“Life is short; really, it is. And we can all do good, even if it is something small to give back. We need to make a difference,” said Oerther. “I want to dream big and I want to make a difference.”

DID YOU KNOW??
One of OERTHER’S longest employees who works 5 days a week and has 5 kids, is actually a superhero! One of her children has Pallister-Killian Syndrome, better known as the abbreviated PKS. Gretchen works extra hard to make sure that her son Simon leads the most comfortable and normal life possible. Gretchen organizes and runs many PKS kids events to help raise funds for research and raise awareness. Roughly 300 Children are diagnosed with pks, although world wide they believe more than 2000 people could have PKS but are undiagnosed. Like many other syndromes there are different levels of severity, OERTHER'S was proud to support Simon and all his friends by hosting PKS Kids on Pallister-Killian Syndrome Awareness Day (12-4) and by making a donation to the non-profit organization. All staff was also invited to wear red and/or black on 12-4. Learn more about PKS at www.pkskids.com.
