The second annual Reindeer Fun Run 5K and 1K will be held on Saturday, December 7th in Monmouth to kick off the Making Spirits Bright festivities! The event beneficiaries are Toys for Tots and Western Oregon University Community Food Pantry.

Following the events, the celebration continues from 10AM -2PM in park. There will be a chili cook-off, holiday bazaar, live music, kids craft corner, and more! Feel free to stroll through downtown as well, as business will have decorated storefronts in competition for the Griswold Award (vote for your favorite!). If you plan to stay in town, Main Street Park will be lit up with Santa’s Workshop and Gingerbread village at dusk.

This is a great event to keep the holiday season rolling! Be sure to check out their Facebook page as well.
