Obama Will Pardon Minnesota Turkeys

By /
The tradition continues: President Barack Obama will pardon a Thanksgiving turkey at the White House next week. 

The ceremony will mark the 64th anniversary of the National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation, according to the White House. The turkey set to be pardoned hails from AgForte Farm in Willmar, Minn. An alternate turkey will also be pardoned.

Both turkeys will be sent to live in a custom-made enclosure at Mount Vernon’s nationally recognized livestock facility.
