Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is celebrated this year November 25th 2010.

The first feast included turkey, venison, fowl, fish, lobster, corn, pumpkin, squash, fruit, berries, and pumpkin.

The celebration also remembers the native Indians that helped teach the pilgrims how to cook and survive.
