Silver Valley Turkey Trot slated for Thursday

For more than 30 years, runners, walkers and strollers have met Thanksgiving morning at The Snake Pit in Kingston for the annual Silver Valley Turkey Trot.

The public is invited to attend as friends and families gather again Thursday at 8:30 a.m.

The entry fee - food, cash or both - goes to the Silver Valley Food Bank.

Participants who want to be included in the "goodies" raffle need to bring something. Cookies, wine, pie and candy are suggested items, and imagination is encouraged when deciding what to bring. Past "goodies" have included a huge carrot from a local garden, and a whole frozen salmon the participant caught himself.

Organizers thank the Enaville Resort, aka The Snake Pit, 1480 Coeur d'Alene River Road, for hosting the event.
