Turkey Getting Hot!

The Beginning

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for many things. Some of these include: Special beer for the hash from Village brewing, someone who volunteers to host the hash on Thanksgiving day, Hashers that help with the turkey and pot luck goodies, and lastly the weather.

Recollections of winter conditions at Thanksgiving are not uncommon. To have a 22C sunny day on Thanksgiving is unusual. Perhaps global warming is not such a bad thing here!

Stool Stuffer and Rashy Bush hosted the run and the feast from their new Fairview mansion. The million dollar views of downtown and the Rockies were a fine setting for the run and feast. A reasonable turn out of 23 intrepid soles, including visitors, made for a good group.

The pack assembled in the Stoolie/Rashy back yard and the keg was tapped prior to the run. Turkey cooking in the smoker smelled delicious. The preliminaries were interrupted by the call for the circle.

The circle formed on the front lawn much to the amusement of the neighbours. PMS made things happen.

The circle proceeded with announcements and the usual procedures. Visitor from Norway, Buzz Light Year confirmed that we attract international attention! Stool Stuffer took a break from his Turkey smoking duties to tell us about the trail and what marks to look for.

Off you go, and don’t forget the three playgrounds!

The Trail

The first mark was a check. Off went the pack to follow the marks that lead deep into the inner reaches of Fairview.

Eventually to runners made it to the park to play. Walkers played as well!

Thankfully Playground 3 was close to the regroup. Here, the pack sorted out their chairs and found suitable refreshment.

Regroup and rehydration. Down Down’s then food!

The Down Down’s

Hardly did the Religious Advisor role. Beverages were carefully poured and a choir was selected.

The down down’s were delivered with skill and finesse. There were a large number of hash shits at the run that need to be dispensed with. No shortage of material!

With down down’s complete, it was time to be “on the piss”, or in the case “on the food”. As the scribe was overcome with joy that the down down’s were now done and he could enjoy the rest of the day. Not a lot of food shots were taken. Here is a proxy of the wonderful feast we were thankful for!

Trail Summary

As Scoobie neglected to fire up his distance device, nothing to report here. Some say it was encroaching on 5 km. If a summary appears from others, I will report it here!

Here are a few additional pictures from the afternoon.

What you missed…..

The Story

For all those Hashers that chose to travel to warmer climes on the Thanksgiving Day weekend, we can report you missed the warmest weekend on record. The +26 C temperatures, brilliant sunshine, and perfect running conditions means you missed the best Thanksgiving Run and Feast ever. The select group that chose to come and play were not disappointed.

The group arrived to settle into pre run refreshments in the garden area of the run start location. We had visitors from Mexico, long lost hashers, and new people to compliment the regulars!

Hashers gathered on the driveway of Dirty Dancer, who conveniently lives across the street from Hardly/Twisty, and offered his pavement as a starting point for the trail.

Happy hasher who have no clue what is in store for them.

In the absence of any current hashmasters, Liquor Lots took charge and conducted the circle. As the Past Master, her organizational skills were still sharp!

Liquor Lots in Action!

A difficult task as it was almost too nice to run. However, out of respect for the hares who had invested countless hours setting a challenging trail for both the runners and the walkers, the group was “off”

The Trail

The trail was marked primarily in “T”, symbolizing the turkey we were all there to enjoy. The oppressively warm weather meant light clothing with not a down vest in sight on any of the runners. The blinding sun was reminiscent of crossing a vast desert. Endless blocks of marks, leaves, pathways and and overabundance of Halloween decorations adorning the lawns of Beddington and Sandstone communities.

Regroup

Eventually, after al the false trails were explored and no more “T”‘s were to be found, the pack was rewarded with the regroup. A find selection of cool libations and fellowship was enjoyed by all.

Down Downs and Feasting

After a satisfying regroup, the pack reassembled in the garden backyard of the Hardly/Twisty mansion to conduct the closing ceremonies.

The usual list of offences and charges were delivered to the unsuspecting group. Karate Clit and Hash Test Dummy were selected for choir duties and did a fine job. Here is an taste of what transpired.

Hares
Just 10 for something…

Of note, was a hashers birthday…. On the day! Liquor Lots is now one year older and her significant day was celebrated by the group! Like fine wine, things get better with age.

I believe she is revealing that she is 24….

Feast

What happens at the feast, stays at the feast. Epic amount of turkey, dressing, vegetables, desert, wine and merriment were had by all. Those that were there know how good it was!

Best Thanksgiving Feast Run ever!
