With Thanksgiving just weeks away, Gov. Kay Ivey is preparing to fulfill one of her most solemn duties. On Monday, she’ll spare a pair of turkeys that were destined for a dinner plate.
The event, set for 10 a.m. Monday at the Alabama Governor’s Mansion, is a seasoned tradition. The state’s executive chefs will find that the state’s executive chief has, for the 75th time, blocked them from plucking the pristine poultry from their pins.
For decades, the declarations were bestowed upon gobblers named Clyde and Henrietta, but Ivey’s office has sought to make that dry meat a bit juicier in recent years. Just ask Gobbles and Cranberry, shown in the photo above.
