Its that time of year again! Every year at Thanksgiving Cherokee Creek Boys School pit-roasts our turkeys for our Thanksgiving feast. It is an honor to be selected for Team Turkey. This year’s crew (pictured above) includes (from left): Sam, Cole, Teacher Nick Linscott, Jimmy, Operations Director Phil Fairbrother, Dain, Michael, and Barron. The team’s responsibilities include staying up until the wee hours tending the roasting coals.
William, Sandy, and Barbara look on as Phil prepares the Turkeys
But first, the turkeys are seasoned and wrapped in foil (several times).
Phil, Cole, Dain, and Barron scope out the pit
Then the boys clear the area of leaves and debris before digging a HUGE pit.
Next, the boys and staff will create a bonfire in the pit, which will be nursed through the night until there is a well established bed of coals. Then the turkeys will be placed on the coals and burried.
Stay tuned for more updates tomorrow…
Sounds really cool. I only had our Sam D. can’t help due to his broken arm. He LOVES this sort of stuff…
