This Thanksgiving White House Kids can participate in "Gobble the Vote" and vote on the name for this year's National Thanksgiving Turkey on the White House Website. The National Turkey Federation has presented six pairs of names (finalist and runner up). Click here to vote for your favorite.
President Bush will soon pardon the annual Thanksgiving Turkey in the 56th National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation at the White House.
Though live Thanksgiving turkeys have been presented to presidents since the Lincoln
administration, the current event dates to 1947, when the first National Thanksgiving Turkey was
presented to President Harry Truman.
By mid-fall, the NTF selects 15 turkey finalists and narrows this down to a finalist and an alternate the week before the presentation. This year's National Turkey was picked from among a group of 40 birds hatched on July 10 in a turkey barn in the Carthage, Missouri area.
After
41 years of major league play, the Anaheim Angels
won their first World Series Championship in 2002.
