families can attend regardless of their ability to pay -

proud turkey dancer who will carry
the message of our
community pow-wow wherever he goes.

churches, who donate the Thanksgiving Day Feast.

a rehabilitated eagle from the raptor center.
* A prominent thanksgiving banner,
listing all of the donors to the event this year.
