If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how

Here's a fun fact to add to your ten cent crazy book - and to give you something interesting, to talk about during this years Thanksgiving gathering.

Did you know that 25 turkeys born every July are selected to go to a VIP barn? -

There - they go through a training of sorts -

Where they are handled and often tour schools - to get use to being around crowds -

Starting just two weeks before Thanksgiving - music that will be played during the Disneyland Thanksgiving Day parade is played in the barn - around the clock -

Then the two most obedient and handsome turkeys in the group are selected to attend the Pardoning Ceremony at the White House -

Why two? -

Well, always have a backup plan - or in this case - a backup turkey -

A few days before Thanksgiving - the two turkeys travel to Washington D.C. -

Where they stay at the Willard Inter Continental Hotel -

The day before Thanksgiving - the turkeys go to the White House -

The one used during the Pardoning Ceremony - gets an official Pardon -

The other gets an unofficial Pardon -

Normally
The turkeys then fly, first class to Disneyland in California -

Where one will ride with the Grand Marshal, in the Disneyland Thanksgiving Day Parade -

The turkeys then live the rest of their life at the Big Thunder Ranch in Disneyland's Frontierland.

This year however - The turkeys will go to George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate in Virginia - where they will be on display through the Christmas season and then live out the rest of their life in a field with Aladdin the camel.
