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

The Chick-fil-A Egg Nog Jog and Kids Zone is also adding some serious fun to the event, with Pony Rides, Santa, obstacle course, along with the crowd favorite 1/2 mile kid’s run making it a great day for the whole family.

The Egg Nog Jog had 40+ kids prance their way through the ½ mile course and cheers from all sides.

Together, we raised record money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Sandhills, and had a great time doing it!
