Thanksgiving Weekend Events In Mother Lode
View VideoMurphys, CA — The town of Murphys kicked off Thanksgiving morning with the annual Klassen Klassic Turkey Trot, and more community events are planned today, and through the weekend.
The popular event at Murphys Community Park drew hundreds of energetic runners and walkers after taking a one-year hiatus due to COVID-19 (Click the image box for some photos). The entry fee was a canned good to benefit the Murphys Senior Center.
