We will go to a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by a long term family here. Grandma Jean who is 92 says they have been hosting these dinners since before she was born. It started to give people who had no where to go a place to gather for a Thanksgiving meal. It is held in the community center (old school). They supply the turkey, dressing, and gravy. The rest is a semi organized potluck. Jean says that back in the day when there was a lot more people in the area they cooked as many as 20+ turkeys. This week it will be 2 or 3 big turkeys to feed around 30 people. The counter in this room is about 25 feet long and 3 feet wide. It will be solid food. We eat at 12:30. Many people leave to go do chores. The food is packed into the gym where it is cool because the heat hasn't been turned on. At about 5:00-6:00 the food is brought out for round two. The people who stay between meals generally play cards.
