No Birds Were Dropped During Turkey Trot Festival For The First
Time In Nearly 70 Years
There was a tradition in the town of Yellville, AR in the fall.
Turkeys were released ... some say dropped ... from low-flying
airplanes and allowed to glide to the ground. Organizers of the
Turkey Trot Festival say that the tradition ... rather than turkeys
... was dropped many years ago. But someone, and no one will say
who, reportedly had unofficially continued the tradition.
