The fourth annual Jack-O-Lantern Jog will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2008 at Central Van & Storage, 595 Meadowlands Blvd.,in North Strabane Township, PA at 9:00 a.m.

Events include the 5K Jack-O-Lantern Jog Race/Walk and the 1 Mile Skeleton Stroll Fun Run/Walk.

The 5K will use the same basic course as previous years but due to construction at The Meadows, we will have a new beginning and ending point. We are extremely grateful to CENTRAL VAN LINES for allowing us to use their facility. The CENTRAL VAN LINES warehouse is located at the Johnson Road end of Meadowlands Blvd.

The 5K will be professionally scored by Miles of Smiles Timing Service and awards will be given to top overall finishers as well as age groups, masters, and heavyweights.

Fun awards will be given to the first participant to enter, middle of the pack finisher, oldest participant, youngest participant and participant coming to the event from the farthest distance. Random $100 savings bonds will be drawn for K-12 participants.

The all-new Skeleton Stroll will be fun, wacky, with giveaways along the course, and surprises - don't miss it!! You can run or walk - all ages are welcome and yes, you can bring strollers and wagons for the little ones.

The raffle will be huge. There will be at least 10 grand prizes and over 50 prizes on the Chinese auction style table. Grand prizes will be drawn at the end of the race and winners must be present to win. Chinese auction prizes will be drawn during the race and posted.

The raffle prizes are just beginning to come in but if you attended last year's event, you know we gave away a flat screen tv, an iPod, DVD Player, overnight hotel stays, golf outings and over 100 miscellaneous certificates/baskets, etc. This year we've added a Digital Camera, Laptop, a Mystery Gift, All Clad Cookware, A Cruise, and a trip to Disney World!!!

Enter early - pre-registration entries are guaranteed a professionally designed, quality t-shirt, race goodie bag AND best of all, TEN (10) more raffle tickets than day-of-race entries. Every year, the Jack-O-Lantern Jog gets bigger and better! Don't miss the 2008 event - it will be GREAT!!

All proceeds benefit the Community Scholarship Foundation of Canon-McMillan and Bucks for Bucs Scholarship Foundation of Chartiers-Houston. Last year, over $22,000 in fund raising profit was divided between the two foundations for new scholarships.

We are grateful to our committee members, volunteers, sponsors, event participants and the community for their support. Many students have and will continue to benefit from this fund raiser and we couldn't do it without YOU!!
