The annual White Mountain Milers Christmas Party, run/walk and Yankee Swap is this Sunday, Dec. 10, at noon. You don’t have to be a Miler to attend, and we welcome new members and friends to all our events.
Once again, this will be a potluck turkey dinner preceded by a run/walk of your favorite distance, and then the drawing of numbers and trading of the gifts, $15 limit. The majority of White Mountain Milers and future Milers are now searching for the best recipe for a dessert or side dish to share at the party. The real competition starts now in finding the best Yankee Swap gift. Do you want to bring a nice gift? A funny gift? Regift? Decisions, decisions. See you at the Dowlings on Wallis Way.
