‘Twas upon a crisp morn in this northern hamlet that I beheld a most curious spectacle: throngs of citizens, adorned in the most whimsical of turkey-inspired costumes, gathering near the stately Brick Building. Methinks I have never witnessed such a peculiar marriage of athletic pursuit and festive pageantry as this “Turkey Trot” they speak of.
The brisk November air carried the scent of spices from nearby establishments, most notably the Schatz Crossroads, where travelers and townsfolk alike sought sustenance on this day of abundance. Indeed, such democratic fellowship warms the heart more than the finest French toast (which, I am told, enjoys particular celebration on this very date).
As shadows lengthened across Central Avenue, I observed with particular amusement one zealous participant, whose elaborate turkey-feathered running garments caused no small stir among the spectators. Verily, in these modern times, the spirit of thanksgiving manifests in ways both curious and heartening.
