Earlier today President Obama, with the help of daughters Sasha and Malia, carried out “one of the most important duties” he has as President of the United States – the pardoning of the National Thanksgiving Turkey.
This year, the National Thanksgiving Turkey Apple, and his understudy Cider, came to the White House from Foster Farms Wellsford Ranch near Modesto, California. Both turkeys participated in a rigorous competition back home at the farm in order to win the ultimate prize of a Presidential pardon and an all-expenses-paid trip to the White House. Apple and Cider will live out their days at Mount Vernon, home of our nation’s first President George Washington.
