The turkey, cornbread dressing, pumpkin pie, football and family time…so many reasons to love about Thanksgiving!  Did we mention pie?  Each family has its own activities and traditions to look forward to the holiday.  The Village Green presents a 5K turkey trot and 1 Mile Fun Run – the Gobble On the Green. This new Cashiers holiday tradition returns year after being virtual in 2020. The Thanksgiving Day 5K Run/Walk will begin at 9 a.m. with the Fun Run starting at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 25 at The Village Green Commons in beautiful Cashiers, NC. All proceeds benefit The Village Green, Cashiers 13 acre privately conserved park for public enjoyment.
