Thanksgiving
SIGN UP FOR THANKSGIVING 2010!
About
Loj Thanksgiving is an annual celebration held in January/February in memory of Loj #1, which burned down in 1962 and to celebrate the club. (Thankfully, no one was injured in the fire. To learn more, read the Loj History.) Naturally, we celebrate with a massive Thanksgiving dinner complete with 30+ lbs. of potatoes and multiple turkeys as well as a tofurkey. Thanksgiving is one of TMC’s biggest events at the Loj, attracting more than 100 members annually.
Events
Many skiing and hiking trips take place on Saturday, followed by the massive Thanksgiving feast on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, there is a barbeque and the annual Cross-Country Ski Race, which started in 1983.
