As all locals know Thanksgiving morning is reserved for our annual Run Thru The Woods event that supports youth charities in Montgomery County including the South Montgomery County YMCA Partners Scholarship program. It is a great event for the whole community. It also means that certain roads will be blocked and extra careful eye is need for those quick last minute runs to the grocery store.
I have grown up in this area and I was in JROTC at Oak Ridge High school. A part of being in the JROTC meant having to do community services, in the effort to instill good morals in all cadets. Run Thru The Woods was a big event for us. Some years it would be freezing and some years still hot, but we always enjoyed it. When ever you go to any event like this you can see how much the community really cares about each other. At the very least you can say this is a great place to live. Its not to late to get involved. You can sign up on their website: http://www.thewoodlandstx.com/events/25th-run-thru-the-woods.php?event_id=2433&event_date_id=6290 If you can't make it out there are plenty of other events that will be taking place this holiday season.
For your convenience here is a little handy dandy Grocery list to help insure you have what you need and avoid having to rush out in the morning and fight for the last can of cranberry sauce.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!
