Thanksgiving ~ More Than Just a Family, Friends, and Food

November 23, 2019
Norman Rockwell for The Literary Digest, November 1911

The “Cooking Holiday” is upon us – prepping for a family Thanksgiving, or a Friendsgiving celebration puts the focus on the food, but other things are happening at the end of the week. A turnabout football game on Wednesday afternoon, the annual Turkey Trot early on Thursday and a mid-morning football game on Thursday, then a classic ice hockey match-up early on Friday afternoon.

Happy Thanksgiving!

POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL

The holiday fun begins on Wednesday afternoon with the traditional Powder Puff game with BHS women playing football at Sabourin Field.
