Looking forward to having Jason Green and his Yeti Trail Runners this weekend!

Many of those runners will be driving into our region tonight—they’ll be supporting local businesses with overnight stays and eating at our restaurants. We so appreciate them and wish them all a safe, successful run as they tackle Troublesome Hollow!

Give them a big wave if you see them this weekend!
