As we enter the heart of the winter holiday season, the fun and creative costumers of the 43rd Annual Onyx Health Club Cleveland Turkey Trot held on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 28 are quickly becoming a happy memory.
But the 9,000 fans who came out, raced, and dressed in costumes for a day of family fun and to raise money and food donations for eight charitable organizations can easily relive the experience, because The results of FreshWater’s Turkey Trot Costume Poll are in!
While there were a lot of great costumes and high spirits, FreshWater readers have made their choices:
Individual costume winner:
Buddy the Elf. However, Buddy wasn’t wearing a bid number, so we could not identify who he really is. If you know Buddy, or you are Buddy, let us know who you are so we can get you your prizes!
Buddy won a bottle of Tito’s Vodka, a set of Baileys adult beverages, and MAGNET cookie cutters; as well as FreshWater swag, including a shirt, mug, pen, journal, and Buddy the Elf playing cards.
Group costume winners:
Grinch Family—Kaleigh and Joseph S. from Elyria.
Kaleigh and Joseph won a Cleveland Museum of Art membership and MAGNET cookie cutters; as well as FreshWater swag, including a journal, pen, and coloring books.
