Our Jaycees’s Kids K is the cutest race ever and certainly made festive under the direction of our chef and his turkey! We began the Kids K six years ago, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of our Turkey Trot. We are grateful for the Nacogdoches Jaycees’ sponsorship of this event every year since, so that 100 kids can run this free of charge!
