A bit of trivia:

The Mayflower

[[Ce...]]

Turkey is the state game bird of Alabama

[[wa...]]

yes I love the trivia -  The First National Proclamation of Thanksgiving was given by the Continental Congress in 1777 from its temporary location in York, Pennsylvania, while the British occupied the national capital at Philadelphia.  Delegate Samuel Adams created the first draft. Congress then adapted the final version. wiki

 

York is a cool town still.

Thus...Samuel Adams Beer!...a new tradition!...

 

 

Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the official bird of the United States but eventually lost out to the bald eagle.  (imagine that)
