From the Organizer
On Saturday, December 5th, at 8:30am a 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run in McGregor will raise money to restore the Texas Theatre in downtown McGregor. Participants will enjoy more than a brisk run or walk—they’ll take home commemorative shirts, cheerful goody bags filled with surprises, and the warm satisfaction of supporting something bigger than themselves. Even the littlest riders in strollers and our four-legged friends will be included, because at the Tinsel Trot, everyone belongs. Registration is $35 per person. For more information click here
