    Default 10th Annual Turkey Run on Saturday 10/18/17



    I am proud to say that this would be the TENTH year that we are conducting this run! This has been a great opportunity to get together in the past, without truly doing a "run", and I am sure this year will be great! It is a great social event, and a good way to give back to the community.


    Date: Saturday November 18th at 9:00AM.


    Location: We will meet at the Conoco on Auraria Parkway, which is at the South edge of the Pepsi Center parking lot. If you get off on Auraria from I-25, make your first left. If you are coming in from I-25 via Speer, you will have to head West just a bit on Auraria and the Conoco is on the right. It is literally on the edge of the Pepsi Center parking lot. Address is 1500 7th Street in Denver, CO 80204.


    Why: What does the Denver Rescue Mission do with all the turkeys you ask? They need 15,000 birds to feed homeless who come into the shelter, distribute to other smaller shelters (DRM is the biggest shelter in Denver) which may run low on birds, distribute to low income families, etc. Basically, they make sure that everybody who needs a meal at Thanksgiving gets one, regardless of their situation.

    The shelter also needs other items including but not limited to canned goods, dry food goods, clothes, coats, blankets, hats, gloves, sleeping bags, personal hygiene items, etc. My understanding is that they accept nearly anything except appliances.



    Here is the address/site info for the Denver Rescue Mission. You can map in advance, or if you can't make the run or give stuff to someone else, drop off at your convenience. You can also donate online via Paypal.

    At this time, we plan to go to breakfast afterwards. My 6 year old will likely be with me, and she LOVES to go to breakfast after this run. Anyone is welcome to join us at the Denver Diner.

    Was a little disappointed that there wasn’t much of a turnout for this. My wife and I joined Jeff and his daughter to drop off some turkeys and then enjoyed breakfast together.

    Hope we you all have a happy Thanksgiving.

    It was still a good time. Nice to have breakfast and chat. Thanks for taking the time to make it out. Will post the photo of the "vehicle" soon.

    SO, when we were waiting a few minutes at the Pepsi Center gas station to see if anyone else would show up, this "4x4" pulled in. Appears to be a truck frame, V8 engine, and Geo Tracker body. The frame clearly extends far beyond the front and back of the body. It pulled in, made a U-turn, and pulled back out onto Auraria Parkway. Wyoming license plates.
