George Bailey 5K

Rochester is one of those cities that, well, just has a weird sense of place. Not as weird as San Francisco; we're more SanFran Lite. So things like this little event just tickle my fancy. The George Bailey 5k is a, well, it's not really a race, and it's not even 5k, it's more of just an fun goofy excuse for folks to dress up like George Bailey and recreate his famous "Merry Christmas" run through Bedford Falls and raise some money for charitable organizations. It runs through our neighborhood and this year I think I'll convince Piggy to at least go out and cheer them on, if not actually participate. If it's not snowy, I'll totally dress like Mary and run in heels!

Update: I just found this quicktime movie of a newscast of an earlier GB5K. You know it's good TV when the reporter can barely keep a straight face.
