Blunt still wants you to name that turkey
In keeping with a yearly tradition that has lasted...two years, Gov. Matt Blunt is going to pardon a turkey for Thanksgiving, which will prevent the bird from becoming a delicious morsel on Nov. 27, and has once again allowed Missourians to vote for a name for the lucky winner.
Currently, the race between two of the five names, Turkulese and Stewie, is becoming a close one, and 4 million votes have already been cast, according to a news release from Blunt's office.
"This year’s contest to name the turkey who will receive a gubernatorial pardon has been very popular especially in Missouri classrooms," Blunt stated in the release. "Missourians still have time to make their voices heard on this year’s lucky turkey."
