Father Joe's Thanksgiving Day 5K Run/Walk November 26, 2009

7,000 runners and walkers helping Father Joe Carroll serve 1.7 million meals this year. Families, pets, youth groups, local business and military teams.

Post-race fun takes place at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion with the blues sounds of San Diego favorite Bill Magee Blues Band. The festivities also include pie samples and sales, a free beer garden, and Father Joe Carroll signing his collectible bobble head figurines.

Students in the Culinary Arts Program at St. Vincent de Paul Village are cooking up fresh, delicious, homemade pies to sell on Thanksgiving. Pies are $20 each and proceeds support life-changing programs at St. Vincent de Paul Village. Crowd-pleasing flavor favorites include cherry, chocolate mousse, Dutch apple, pecan and pumpkin.
