About this adventure
Independence Parks and Recreation hosts a short Saturday talk at George Owens DeWitt Hall about turkeys, timed for the week before Thanksgiving. Children hear how large turkeys can grow and why the bird shows up so often in American holiday meals, framed as a race question: are you faster than a turkey. The city calls it a free educational talk and asks families to register by November 7. The listing does not give a registration link or a phone number on this page, and it does not print an end time. It is one indoor session at the nature park hall, aimed at families rather than a school class. Arrive at 1:00 pm.
