Turkey Trot
The annual Billerica Partners for Education Turkey Trot, scheduled for Sunday, November 18. If you are available, please consider joining us for this fun, family-oriented community event. It would be great if the Vining could take home the participation trophy one last time. Hopefully the weather will cooperate more than last year's event. Cost for adults to participate is $25 and students participating in the Tot Trot can do so at no cost. The registration link is  racewire.com/register.php?id=9575
