However, light-hearted fun aside, the Keseloff family — Dan, Kat, Anya, and Lisa — said taking part in the community's annual Turkey Trot fun run is a family tradition that blends fun and helping others.
The quartet was among several hundred area residents who turned out for the annual event. After awarding the pie to a resident dressed in an inflatable sloth costume, Jason Wiley, Sandpoint Recreation and Parks Services superintendent, thanked everyone for turning out to help the food bank.
"Everyone comes out and has fun," Wiley said later. "It's a light-hearted fun, fun event. We get to raise food for the food bank during the time when they need food. You can get dressed up in costumes. Everybody's smiling; everybody's happy."
