Jake Sightings

Jake the Turkey joins the CHS Cheerleaders in touchdown pushups -- celebrating the Red Wolves 34-8 victory against Coupeville this past Friday!

Jake and Course Design Guru Dean Vergillo were spotted handing out race brochures at the Woodinville Slough Run. Brrrr! It rained hard --- lending a whole new meaning to the phrase "COLD TURKEY!" Jake says there will be no "fowl" weather at the events!
