Celebration FOR the Turkeys
Celebration FOR the Turkeys is a unique alternative to the traditional Thanksgiving holiday. While turkeys are still the centerpiece of the day, the Farm Sanctuary Thanksgiving celebration features turkeys as the guests of honor, not the main course. The event is part of Farm Sanctuary's annual Adopt-A-Turkey Project. After 18 years, Celebration FOR the Turkeys has earned the reputation of being the Thanksgiving holiday event for animal lovers and animal advocates from coast to coast.
