In what was thought to be a very difficult year due to COVID-19, the Naperville Noon Lions Club have completed a successful annual raffle and virtual 5K Turkey Trot thanks to the support of the citizens of Naperville and surrounding communities.
On Dec. 1, state Rep. Grant Wehrli was on hand to draw the winning raffle tickets from 3,000 tickets sold. Between Nov. 14 and Nov. 29, over 1,350 runners ran the course of their choice with many of them running on Thanksgiving morning.
