Thanksgiving Travel: Who Will Be America's Next Top Turkey?
We wouldn't be so excited about fall if we knew that in a week we would be plucked, bound and having involuntary surgery in your mom's kitchen. But this year, as happens every year, one lucky turkey will get to live out his retirement as a Magic Kingdom resident instead of as leftovers. This year's sixtieth anniversary National Thanksgiving Ceremony at the White House allows President Bush to do what he does best--look ridiculous in the Rose Garden.
The as yet unnamed turkey hails from Dubois, Indiana and has been coached especially for his big moment. (You can vote to decide his name at the White House website.) After the November 21 ceremony, he will serve as the grand marshal of the Walt Disney World Thanksgiving Day Parade, and live out his days in the backyard of Mickey's Country House at the Magic Kingdom.
