The Recreation Department will hide five paper turkeys and one “LIVE” turkey somewhere in Burlington, and you will have to follow the clues to find the cagey birds. Participants will meet at the Recreation Center at 1:00 p.m. where a packet of clues will be handed out. Then it is up to you to pick which of the “Toms” you want to look for. If you are lucky enough to bag one of our feathered friends, you will be awarded a certificate for a free turkey from Roche Bros. grocery store. After finding a turkey you must return it to the Recreation Department to receive your certificate. Please pre-register by November 13 so we know how many people will be participating.
