The Great Lakes State Thanksgiving
President Ford was presented with a Thanksgiving turkey by the National Turkey Federation on November 20, 1975. This was the 30th consecutive year that the Federation presented a turkey to the President. The turkey was presented by Marvin DeWitt of Zeeland, Michigan.
According the White House memo, it was the first time that the President, the turkey, and the presenter were all from the same state. Go Michigan!
