Wanderers Run In the New Year

Wanderers gathered at the Valley Green Inn on December 31, 2004 to celebrate New Year’s Eve, as well as participate in the Wissahickon Wanderers Inaugural New Year’s Run. Several Wanderers, friends, and loved ones brought assorted food items to go along with the drinks being doled out by Official Wanderer Bartender, and manager of the Inn, Ken. The partying started at 10:00 and lasted until the early morning hours.

The highlight of the evening was the midnight run. While most Wanderers chose to don party hats and ring noise makers for the run, two Wanderers were more daring and chose to wear nothing. Chris Moore and Michael Branca chose to run a la Baby New Year and covered the entire out and back course "in the raw." For the record, the daring behavior demonstrated by Chris and Michael was not the result of alcohol induced bravado; it was actually planned weeks in advance of the event.

Special thanks go out to Jack, who is the owner of the restaurant, and Ken for accommodating us for the evening. A great time was had by all and we hope to do it again next year!
