Burke Rescue, along with Silver Creek Golf Club, is hosting a Thanksgiving morning Turkey Trot! No, there won’t actually be turkeys trotting around, but you certainly can walk or run like a turkey! Come out with the family and burn some early morning calories before your afternoon feast as we raise money for our volunteer department. We will have door prizes, tshirts, and a lot more goodies! If you can’t make it in person, join us virtually!
