CHICKEN CHUCKING CHAMPIONSHIP
Spare the turkey! It's free to throw the chicken. Before and after the Turkey Trot, participants will take turns using their body (no machines) hurling a rubber chicken across the beach. Besides taking home a 2 1/2-ft. rubber chicken trophy, the Chicken Chucking Champion's fling will determine the amount of the check to be written by organizers to a local food bank -- $2 for every foot the farthest fowl flies. Canned good donations accepted for local food bank. This free-to-enter contest takes place near the finish line -- between the indoor and outdoor pool, on the beach. Be sure to enter -- and don't be a chicken!
Also, as an annual tradition, participants are asked to bring canned goods that will be shared with local food banks.
