Sign Up For The Great Turkey Chase BY CATHY MOLITORIS
On Thanksgiving morning, the streets of Elizabethtown will be overrun with people chasing turkeys. The Great Turkey Chase will be held on Thursday, Nov. 24, beginning at the Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church, 996 E. High St. Registration will open at 6:45 a.m., and
the race will start at 8:15 a.m. As race director Grace Wells explained, participants won’t really be chasing turkeys during the 5K run/walk. “We will have stuffed turkeys located throughout the course, and when people find one, they can bring it to the end of the race and we’ll have frozen turkeys for them,” she shared. See Turkey Chase pg 3
Santa will visit with children at Christmas at The Star Barn Village.
Christmas Fun For Everyone hen Brittany’s Hope hosts the eighth annual Christmas at The Star Barn Village on Saturday, Dec. 3, guests can expect a little bit more of everything. “Everything is going to be bigger and better than ever this year,” said Dana Myers, director of charitable giving for Brittany’s Hope. “We have some new games and crafts. We’ll have lots of outdoor music. There is going to be a lot of family fun.” VIP admission to the event will run from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and general admission will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Stone Gables Estate, 1 Hollinger Lane, Elizabethtown. “This is a fundraiser for Brittany’s Hope, but it’s also about bringing the Christmas spirit to everyone,” Myers stated. “It’s a great family tradition.” Festivities will include outdoor
initiatives. “Life-changing things are happening with Brittany’s Hope,” Myers commented. “There are so many wonderful stories we hear every day of how the lives of these kids are changing. One hundred percent of everything we raise goes directly to the kids. We have no administrative costs thanks to our corporate sponsors.” Anyone who comes to Christmas at The Star Barn Village is helping to make a difference, Myers said, while also enjoying a fun day out. “If you’re busy and overwhelmed with the materialism of Christmas, you walk in here and you just feel joy,” she stated. “It’s a great way to start a new family tradition if you haven’t been here before. It’s a heartwarming day, and it kicks off the holidays, so those happy feelings don’t stop all through the Christmas season.” For more information on Christmas at The Star Barn Village or to purchase tickets, visit www.brittanyshope.org.
