Mild but blustery conditions greeted a large turnout Saturday for the 20th annual Jingle Bell Jog in downtown Iola. Above, dozens of runners and walkers embark from the starting line of the 5K. The race, sponsored by the Iola High School track and field team, featured several pre-race activities. At middle left, Keifer Endicott holds the target during a “pin the nose on Rudolph” game. Below at right, Hayden Sparks is adorned in wrapping paper as part of a game to see who could wrap their playing partner the best. At bottom left, Nathan Sprague unsuccessfully attempts to elude his young pursuers in a “catch the cookie” race. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN
