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.

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.
