Village serves up Thanksgiving fun

The Hinsdale Parks and Recreation Department invites residents to find giant turkeys all over town in the Hinsdale Turkey Trail.

The event is a free and fun way for families to stay engaged and positive this season. Plus everyone can burn calories to make room for Thanksgiving dinner.

Simply take a walk through the neighborhood or the village’s business districts and be on the lookout for the oversize gobblers. Also search #HinsdaleTurkeyTrail or @HinsdaleParks on social media to locate others (hint: more than 10 big birds are out there!). Take a selfie during your search and tag @HinsdaleParks and #HinsdaleTurkeyTrail.

To create a turkey to join the trail, turn to Page 61 or download one at https://www.villageofhinsdale.org/departments/parks_and_recreation/turkey_trail.php. Hang it in a window for pedestrians to see, laminate it and post it in the front yard or take it to Kramer Foods to be displayed in the front window.

Remember to practice social distancing and wear a mask when necessary. Stay home when sick and do not enter private property to find or view turkeys. And please shop and dine at local businesses while searching for turkeys in the business districts.
