…and it gets bigger and more complicated. And also more fun. With more money raised for our two charities. Yow. Preparation Oh there is so much to prepare. I cannot speak for myself because I am not part of the “team,” but boy do I love that “team” that works magic to pull this off….
Last year was the tenth anniversary year of this little thing that has grown so much over the years from just a little neighborhood group in the park by our house to this: And this: I don’t know if I ever even posted about what happened last year…the “Turkey Trot Dream Team” (as I like…
