A very special Thanksgiving turkey in Michigan needs a new name and it could be a name that you choose. The lucky turkey who is currently nameless will be pardoned from the Thanksgiving dinner table by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. This is the second year that a turkey will be pardoned in Michigan, but this has long been a tradition in the U.S.
The annual tradition is the first signs of Christmas to go up in Branson Park, which will soon be followed by Christmas lights and the eventual Christmas tree lighting, which will be happening on Black Friday, November 24 at 5:00 PM.
Located in St. Joseph, Michigan Silver Beach Pizza is featuring two unique pies in the month of November: Thanksgiving pizza and Green Bean Casserole Pizza.
Without a doubt, the biggest and brightest light show is already being assembled in downtown Rochester, Michigan. The Lagniappe and kick-off to the Big Bright Light Show is officially one month away on November 20th.
