Today, Nov. 23, the YMCA is celebrating its third Annual Turkey Burner Day. Instead of standing in lines all day at Black Friday stores and seeing nothing but the weight of your wallet drop, you can go to the Y for a free workout.

The Y will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the child watch will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pool hours are 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (caps are required).
