After last year's success The Quiet Man Public House is happy to bring back The 2nd Annual Turkey Run!





This year marks the Second Annual Turkey Run in Peekskill, New York ran

by The Quiet Man Public House! This is a fun-run where frozen turkey's

are donated to fill the freezers of CHOP (Caring for the Homeless of

Peekskill), a local organization with the goal of eliminating hunger in

Peekskill.





This is a fun event and a great way to give back to your local community!





Grab your friends, neighbors and co-workers and form a team! Costumes

are encouraged! Burn off some extra calories before the Thanksgiving

holiday and enjoy comradery, food, beverage and fun! All ages welcomed!





Admission is a frozen turkey which you will have to strap to your body

or carry during the "run"-creativity is encouraged. All turkey's will be

donated to CHOP and handed out to locals in need for Thanksgiving.





All proceeds (turkey's) benefit CHOP, who's mission is to alleviate

hunger and homelessness in our community by providing temporary housing

for homeless adults, and by referring clients to appropriate agencies in

order to help them attain independent living. For more information we

invite you to visit their website at http://www.chophunger.org
