Run on Turkey Day

Before you get "stuffed" this Thanksgiving, how about taking a run to benefit the Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA.

Festival Foods is once again sponsoring the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, a 5 mile run or 2 mile run/walk. This year there are seven cities hosting an event on Thanksgiving morning - Eau Claire, Fond du Lac, Menasha (Fox Cities), Green Bay, La Crosse, Manitowoc and Oshkosh. All races begin at 8AM and end by 9:30AM, plenty of time to get home for the Packer game at 11:30AM

For more information, course details and registration see their website 4th Annual Festival Foods Turkey Trot

Good luck to all the hunters and Happy Thanksgiving from BuyWisconsinLand.com

Veterans Day Celebrations

The history of Veterans Day goes back to the end of World War I when an armistice was called for the eleventh hour of the the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918.  Today it is a reminder to us the true cost of freedom.

November 5th through the 11th has been declared Veterans Recognition Week in Wisconsin, a time when all Wisconsinites can make a special effort to honor our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, and when students will be learning about Veterans in our schools.  Friday November 11th, remember to pause at 11AM and remember those who served and those who continue to serve and keep us free.

Many commuities across Wisconsin will be holding services and parades to honor our Veterans.  Check this list from the Wisconsin Department of Veteran Affairs for an event near you. Veterans Day and Recognition Week Events List
