Granville Turkey Trot.....................

 

My Sweetie has been co-chair of the Granville Turkey Trot for a while now.  The 5k run/trot/walk/waddle event, held Thanksgiving mornings, draws a good crowd.  Despite temperatures hovering around freezing, over 2,000 friendly folk participated this morning.  This is the twentieth year for the event; it has become a family tradition.  The Granville Turkey Trot is also a fund-raiser.  All of the money goes to the Food Pantry Network of Licking County.  Last year the committee wrote them a check for around $130,000.  My Sweetie is hoping they top that this year.

Reason #37:   The Granville Turkey Trot

So my Sweetie has been a part of the organizing committee for the Granville Turkey Trot.  Held annually (for 13 years now) on Thanksgiving morn, this 5K run/walk raises funds (over $625,000 so far) for the Food Pantry Network of Licking County.   It is a tremendously fun family event with over 2,500 participants of all ages.

Three Tigers Brewing is helping out this year with their creation of  Tater Trot, a sweet potato brown ale.  A bit of every glass sold will be donated to the Turkey Trot.  I suspect much fun was had in both brewing the Tater Trot and making this video.  Bottoms up!
