Time to share some pictures from the actual Thanksgiving Community meal served by the Boone First United Methodist Church. All in all the album of pictures from my time (me not pictured) helping with the meal has 563 images in it. I probably could have taken more, but I left about 12:30ish to get to my family Thanksgiving at Carla’s house.
Here are some of my favorite images:
If you want to look through all 563 pictures, just clicking on any image in this post will take you to the gallery.
All in all, we served between 600-700 meals this year.
But perhaps the most important development of the year is that the inflatable turkey finally has a name. The turkey was a gift from my Mom close to 10 years ago and it never had a name. I’m not into naming things that will never know they have a name. I would never give a name to a car or to a fish or to a cat or to an inflatable turkey. But the kids that were working the outside crew have deemed the inflatable turkey “Bartholomew”. Henceforth, that is how he will be known.
Another, not major development, but a change this year is that Jennifer from the Chamber loaned us the barricades and cones used for Pufferbilly Days. Such a big improvement over the half saw horse things the city has begrudgingly loaned us the last several years.
I already look forward to next year’s Thanksgiving meal. If you want to get involved, I know a guy you can talk to.
