On the evening of Nov. 12, drag icon and recent LGBTQ+ Hall of Fame Inductee Angelique Munro presented the 17th Annual Turkey Trot Fundraiser benefitting Groceryland Food Pantry.
The event, which took place at Sidetrack, 3349 N. Halsted St., was born out of a conversation Munro had with her close friend, the late activist Lori Cannon. Cannon, who was oversaw Groceryland, was lamenting that the Thanksgiving festivities were approaching, yet the pantry’s shelves were bare.
Munro and Cannon subsequently conceived of the Annual Turkey Trot event presenting a night of drag, fundraising and merriment. The 2026 edition included performances from Munro, Ms. Sassy Trash and Milani, as well as a raffle which included prizes from Calo Restaurant, Sidetrack and Chef Art Smith’s Reunion Restaurant.
Groceryland Food Pantry is located at 5543 N. Broadway in Edgewater.
