A Thankful Sacramento Thanksgiving

Sacramento Thanksgiving Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year and enjoyed sharing the holidays with your family and friends.

On November 27th the 15^th Annual Run or Walk to feed the hungry was held and this year had a record number of runners, walker, and strollers. I believe the count for Sacramentans coming out to raise money for the Hungry was over 27,000. It has become a family event for many and is certainly a worthy cause. If you didn't participate this year, mark your calendar for next year.

The race is always held Thanksgiving morning with registration is at 7:30 am and the race beginning at 9:00 am Downtown on J Street in Sacramento near the CSUS entrance.

Folsom hosted the 2nd Turkey Trot Run to benefit Folsom's Food bank. Where racers started on North Parkway going through bike trails.

If you didn't want to cook, Lucille's Smokehouse BarBQue in Rocklin. was a great place to pick-up a ready made turkey and or the trimmings. Might be something you want to keep in mind for next year and for the Christmas holiday. They have take out as well as eating right there. Cost of a Whole Turkey to go is $49.95. They are located in the Blue Oaks Town Center 6628 Lonetree Blvd. Rocklin, CA. You can even put your order in on-line.

Be sure to check out some of the BEST places to go for the December holidays.

There will be new Sacramento home buyers moving into their new homes over the holidays and enjoying their new Sacramento neighborhoods. Be sure to welcome your new neighbors this year.

Please remember to shop locally this year. The businesses close to you are struggling in this economy and could use your help.

Barb, yes there was a lot "cookin" in Sacramento over the Thanksgiving holiday and there will be even more. The Annual Run for the Hungry turned out record number of well meaning Sacramentans at $35 a pop bringing in a record number of dollars. I wouldn't be surprised if it is one of the largest runs in the Nation to be honest.

Marchel, it just goes to show that there are a lot of well meaning and caring people in Sacramento. The call came out and they in turn came out in record number.

Sharon, thanks for popping on over and checking out Sacramento Real Estate Voice.

Jeff, it really makes you proud to live in an area where there are so many folks that care and want to help those in need. This year we have a record number of people IN need and thankfully a record number of people who came OUT to help.

Gena - I wanted to thank you again for the follow up on "Are You Trasparent"! It is so nice to now have a Veteran blogging friend! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! From the looks of this post you have plenty of fun things to do in Sacramento for the Holidays! Enjoy!

Debbie, no problem. That is what is so great about Active Rain. There are a lot of us who enjoy helping new members learn the robes. Glad to have been of help.

Yes, lots of food and good times in Sacramento for the holidays! Hope your Thanksgiving was a sharing one!

Gena good work letting everyone know about all the great holiday events in your area.

Hi Gena...This Sounds like a worthwhile cause in your city, we have similar events for the homeless every year. One Businessman Gordie Dodd, puts on a Dinner for the homeless and volunteers offer to help by serving the people at their tables.

Thanks for sharing your story

Hi Gena,

Very nice! We had turkey trot here too, I was registered to run, but it rained.

DEC

Bill, thanks. There certainly are more holiday places to go in Sacramento and the surrounding areas. I will be adding to the best places to go for the Christmas holidays.

Fred, it is great that we have such civic minded folks who are willing to share their time, money and volunteer to help those that need our help.

Lynda, that was much needed rain for the sound of how dry everything has been down your way. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
