Five Things: Eat (Some More), Wash (Dishes), Shop (Holidays)

Turkey Trot is Saturday! The second annual EG Hill and Harbour Turkey Trot happens Saturday. Work off the holiday calories with friends and family. It’s a fully sanctioned and certified 5K race in downtown EG. The main event starts at 9 a.m. with a 1-mile fun run at 8:30. Other activities will include crafts, music, and food. The EG Lions ask that you bring a canned good with you to donate to the EG Interfaith Food Cupboard. You can register here or just come out to the Varnum Armory Saturday morning. See you there!
