The Star - News, views and advertising of the Grand Coulee Dam Area

Sticking their necks out in a "turkey trot" at Steamboat Rock State Park on Thanksgiving morning, Samantha Thomsen, left, with Natalie Dennis and Tarina Mott sport inflatable turkey outfits (OK, they're chickens, but close enough) at the 5K (3.1 miles) race/walk where 50 or 60 participants enjoyed a perfectly blue sky and good weather. The event was organized by Run the Dam as a fundraiser and also accepted donations for a local cancer-support charity.
