Did you know? President Harry Truman was the first recipient of an "official" Thanksgiving Turkey from the National Turkey Federation, but he wasn't the first to pardon one. That tomfoolery began a bit later. We're closed for Thanksgiving, open the day after to walk off those calories and learn a little history. Happy Thanksgiving! https://lnkd.in/gBJeKTqN

Did you know? A number of U.S. Presidents were left-handed. President Truman was ambidextrous; he was forced to use his right hand as a child, as was customary in those days. Since WWII, there have been six south paws elected President. https://lnkd.in/geEeEmtv
