Fun Thanksgiving Facts:

  • 52 Pilgrims attended the 'First Thanksgiving' in 1621 including: John Alden, William Bradford, Priscilla Mullins and Miles Standish.
  • According to Edward Winslow, a participant in the First Thanksgiving, the feast consisted of: Corn, Barley, Fowl including Wild Turkeys and Waterfowl and Venison and the celebration lasted for three days and included games and food.
  • Approximately 50 Native Americans attended the 'First Thanksgiving' including: Massasoit and Squanto - the Pilgrim's Translator.
  • Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird of the United States. But it was Thomas Jefferson who opposed him. It is believed that Franklin then named the male turkey as 'tom' to spite Jefferson.
  • Californians are the largest consumers of turkey in the United States.
  • The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade tradition began in the 1920's.
  • By the fall of 1621 only half of the pilgrims, who had sailed on the Mayflower, survived. The survivors, thankful to be alive, decided to give a thanksgiving feast.

    • We invite you to come in or take a look at our website for festive holiday arrangements that will add to an already wonderful holiday! CLICK HERE to see our specials that we are offering this season and to order them on our website.
