Singer Don McLean was nowhere to be found Sunday, but there were a lot of other people at the sixth annual Dreidel Dash 5K and 10K runs at the Jewish Community Center of St. Paul.
Following the races there was a Post Dash Bash Community Hanukkah Celebration, which organizers say is the biggest in the Twin Cities.
Zoe Glaseer, 8, was spun around after being blindfolded during a game of "Pin the flame on the Hanukkah." At right, a candelabra was lit to represent the miracle of oil burning for eight days.
