The Reindeer Fun Run crew will be slinging drinks at First Friday.  Come on out for the final show of the season with Cody ChestnuTT.

Universally hailed as a thrilling new figure in music for his edgy, lo-fi debut, The Headphone Masterpiece, back in 2002, Cody ChesnuTT is a soul troubadour whose frank, socially conscious ruminations on life continue to challenge popular notions of what modern soul music can look and sound like: . A raw storyteller for the people wearing a guitar and a toothpick-chewing smirk; a. A wide-eyed, intense soul brother in a crazy-fly get-up singing about bedraggled love in the land of Lost Angeles. He’s all of that, but wiser now while still wearing poetic license on his skin like a battle scar. The Atlanta native has always stood his own creative ground , ever since he first holed himself up in his bedroom to record The Headphone Masterpiece, armed with his DIY musical arsenal: a drum machine, an array of instruments, a dusty four-track cassette recorder and a giant pair of headphones to block out the world. The result was an unvarnished collection of songs – 36 in total -which alchemized his love of a multitude … continue

As the year draws to a close, we at the Reindeer Fun Run want to take the time to thank you for everything you did to make the 7th annual Reindeer Fun Run possible.  Runners from all over the Sandhills and beyond say the RFR is their favorite race and comment on how organized and fun the event is, and each year the number of registrants grows.  All of this would not be possible if it weren’t for you, our volunteers, who gave time, energy, and effort every step of the way.  Thank you for being there from start to finish and way after the last runners finished their cool downs, you all are fantastic!  Special thanks goes out to the following:

Jae Kim and the Police, Fire, and Public Works Department for the Town of Aberdeen – this crew helped get the town of Aberdeen ready for the Reindeer Fun Run and helped to ensure runner safety

Robert, Matt, and Michael of the US Air Force – they provided heavy lifting and manual labor

Mark Belk, Tania Rodriguez, and Shelley Burnett – all stayed up late and did … continue

Possibly getting ready for the Blessing of the Hounds on Thanksgiving morning, the reindeer is now accompanied by his gingerbread rider.  While gingerbread men are know to run, run as fast as they can, this cool cookie appears to be taking it easy while waiting for the hunt to begin. Speculation surrounding the pair is that they are making their way to the 7th Annual Reindeer Fun Run on Saturday, December 7 in Aberdeen, NC.  If you happen to spot the reindeer around the area, please let us know.

Proceeds from the Reindeer Fun Run are invested in the youth of our community. 100% of donations made after Nov 1^st  are given to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills. Over the past seven years, over $117,000 has been donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills.

The Boys & Girls Club serves over 300 children each day during the school year. Each day homework is completed during “Power Hour” and proven national programs are provided such as “Smart Moves” a prevention program addressing drug and alcohol use. There is time for free play too and basketball, tennis, and ping pong and pool are popular activities.

Each day during the summer, the Club offers endless array of activities that foster learning and developing strong character plus three healthy meals. Swimming, bowling, and trips to the zoo are popular summer activities.

Apparently the animal came wandering out of the pines decked out in the traditional costume of fun, running reindeer.  Presumably on his way to Aberdeen for the 7th Annual Reindeer Fun Run held on December 7th, this reindeer is a bit early, but probably heard that registration is open and wants to get signed up right away.  Reindeer are know to be proactive with a “why wait?” attitude toward fun and fitness.  We look forward to trying to spot this reindeer around town and ask that you send us any photos of the wandering reindeer so  we can share with all of our antler wearing friends.
