41st Annual Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot
On a cold morning, 7,573 paid participants braved the elements and took to the streets of Elmhurst to raise funds for the 17 agencies that help feed and shelter neighbors in need. Three foreign countries, 32 states, and 882 cities outside the City of Elmhurst were represented and came together for a great cause.

![Aili Flannery’s award-winning sculpture, “Process,” was made of copper, string, copper wire, glass beads, glass, rust-stained fabric, lace, turmeric sun-printed paper, and thread. It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”](https://dupagemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/26-1-DG-Scholastic-Art-Writing-Awards.jpg "26-1 DG Scholastic Art & Writing Awards")
