Wild Turkey
Not too long ago, the only Wild Turkey in New England was in a bottle.
Hello all,
This is a special Thanksgiving “two for one” for the Curioustorian community.
Thank you for your support and encouragement.

A relative of mine, Mrs. Florence Snow of Bridgewater, won 6 awards at the 1938 Northeastern Poultry Producers Council Exposition in New York City. Both for dressed and Live turkeys. This was after losing 250 turkeys in the 1938 hurricane.
Well they certainly made a comeback! I'm having to dodge them in the car once or twice a week. Now we need to bring the chestnut back.
