The “Cooking Holiday” is upon us – prepping for a family Thanksgiving, or a Friendsgiving celebration puts the focus on the food, but other things are happening at the end of the week. A turnabout football game on Wednesday afternoon, the annual Turkey Trot early on Thursday and a mid-morning football game on Thursday, then a classic ice hockey match-up early on Friday afternoon.
Happy Thanksgiving!
POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL
The holiday fun begins on Wednesday afternoon with the traditional Powder Puff game with BHS women playing football at Sabourin Field.
BEDFORD TURKEY TROT
A full slate of 250 Turkey Trot runners will leave the John Glenn Middle School at 8 am on Thursday morning to complete a 5k loop.
All the runners’ slots are full, but there’s plenty of room for you to take part in the 2-mile walk. Because there is no race-day registration, click this link to sign up online.
