Thanksgiving is the great American family celebration. We gather with family and friends to share food and memories.

With the rains holding off 1,700 runners, walkers and moms and dads pushing strollers did the Turkey Trot to start their celebration of the holiday Thanksgiving morning.

They were heading up Broadway to help the Dailey Foundation and the youth of our community.

Christopher Dailey, son of Mark and Maria Dailey, had died unexpectedly the day after Thanks giving in 2002.

Mark and Maria established the Christopher Dailey Foundation is his memory to support youth activities in our area.

The Christopher Dailey Gymnasium in Wilton's Gavin Park is now open and serving the children of our communities.

For more information on the Foundation call Maria at 581-1328 or visit www.christopherdailey.com
