City officials encourage residents to consider joining together on Thanksgiving morning, as the community gathers for the annual Piedmont Turkey Trot.
A longstanding and beloved tradition benefitting local youth athletics, this year’s Turkey Trot will take on new meaning as an opportunity to connect, comfort one another, and mourn as a community during this sorrowful time.
Mayor Jen Cavenaugh will open the event with brief memorial remarks and lead the community in a moment of silence.
