WHAT ABOUT THE BEACH? |
Two
Words: Snowy Plover.
The original Turkey BEACH Trot
was held at Ocean Beach, from
2003-2006. Federal law now bans
races at the beach, to protect the habitat of the endangered Snowy Plover. The Turkey
said, "Huh?" then moved the Trot to the TRAILS of the Park. For
more details on the
Snowy Plover's plight, click
