Hey, you have to love the North Iowa Outlaws of the North American Hockey League. They will be at home to the Owatonna Express on Wednesday and have decided that this will be a special night for one turkey. Here’s the press release:
“Mason City, Iowa — As millions of Americans from coast to coast load up on white and dark meat this week, the North Iowa Outlaws will be making sure one bird doesn't find its way onto a carving station. During the first intermission of the Outlaws' home game on Wednesday night, one lucky bird will be receiving an official pardon for the holiday season.
"We figured that since the president pardons a turkey each year, Outlaws' Nation needs to pardon its own turkey as well" said Outlaws' general manager Steve Strasheim.
With Outlaws' Nation leader Doc Hockeyday presiding over the festivities, the turkey will be guaranteed not to be eaten during this Thanksgiving or the upcoming December celebrations, during the brief ceremony held during the game.”
Hey, is that special, or what?
Now here’s hoping that the game doesn’t turn into a turkey.
