Superior Turkey Trot: Run now, gobble later
The Mineral County Turkey Trot 5K, hosted by the Mineral County Rec club had a simple motto: Run now, gobble later. Participants were encouraged to run, gallop, skip, walk or jog the event. Many families were present with strollers, buggies and wagons. The first-place winner of the 5K was Silas Acker, followed by his mom, Laura Acker, taking second. (Mineral Independent/Amy Quinlivan)
