鈥淭he turkey is always one that has been left too long in the freezer for someone which shows how lucky we are鈥� we always have enough food. There鈥檚 a lot of duct tape involved and we roll it across a surgical drape that was left over–expired, just like the turkey,鈥� stated Amy MacKrell, Liberal Arts and Sciences Professor who helps sponsor and work the event each year.
