JACKSON, Wyo. — No plans for Turkey Day?
All Jacksonites are invited to the following events on Thursday, Nov. 28, and each one is free of charge. Spend the day feeling the community spirit.
First up is the annual Jackson Hole Turkey Trot, a 5K fun run beginning at 9 a.m. Runners are encouraged to wear Thanksgiving themed attire or holiday sweaters. The run will begin in the Stilson parking lot. The top three men and women to cross the finish line will win prizes, along with those deemed “best dressed.” The first 200 attendees will get commemorative mugs.
The Jackson Hole Elks Lodge will host a free turkey dinner from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., complete with sides and dessert. All are invited to break bread together. Contact the Elks Lodge to volunteer at this event, which has seen up to 100 attendees in years past.
A traditional turkey meal will also be served at the Good Samaritan Mission on Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m. The free meal is open to all community members. A representative from Mission said it had “plenty of food” on hand for this year’s event.
