Turkey Day Wobble | The Village Green
Written By: Ann Self - The Village Green | Issue: 2021/11 – November
If you’re worried that Thanksgiving might leave you feeling a little stuffed, a little sleepy – The Village Green has a surefire remedy. Sign up for Gobble on the Green, set for Thanksgiving Thursday, November 25.
The turkey, cornbread dressing, pumpkin pie, football and family time…so many things to love about Thanksgiving!
Did we mention pie?
Each family has its own activities and traditions to look forward to the holiday. The Village Green presents a 5K Turkey Trot and One Mile Fun Run – the Gobble On the Green. This new Cashiers holiday tradition returns a year after being virtual in 2020. The Thanksgiving Day 5K Run/Walk will begin at 9:00 A.M., with the Fun Run starting at 10:30 A.M. on Thursday, November 25 at The Village Green Commons. All proceeds benefit The Village Green, Cashiers’ 13-acre privately conserved park for public enjoyment.
Early bird registration for Gobble On the Green 5K is $25, including a race t-shirt through November 10. Late registration, including race day, is $30 with a t-shirt while supplies last. Due to the uncertain status of Covid, we are also offering a DIY virtual option through the race website. To learn more and to register, visit runsignup.com/Race/NC/Cashiers/GobbleontheGreen5K.
A free One-mile Fun Run for children ages 5-10 years begins at 9:30 A.M. While the Fun Run is free, we would ask that the kids register online or on Race Day. T-shirts may be purchased separately.
Besides the Overall and Age Group awards, prizes will be given for the Most Creative and Holiday Festive/Creative Costumes. In addition, the Golden Gobbler Gravy Boat Award will be presented to the top fundraiser, an individual or team, raising the most donations for The Village Green. Top honor is a smoked turkey dinner with all the fixins for Thanksgiving 2022, plus a collectible turkey gravy boat and bragging rights!
“The Village Green endeavors to enhance community life. Events in The Village Green provide a window into the pleasurable pursuits and beloved traditions that make Cashiers so special,” says Ashlie Mitchell-Lanning, Executive Director of The Village Green. Make plans now to Gobble On the Green before your feast and do the Turkey Day wobble!
