Thanksgiving 2011

Banning,California.November 24,2011.

It has been Three years that we were at the Morongo Barnyard
every time November comes. But this year,the Morongo Indians
opted to let those who wanted a free Turkey to just go and
picked their share at the Morongo Casino parking lot on
November 19,2011.

It might be a sign of hardtimes for the organizers since
they encouraged an exchange of Turkey with at least
Five canned goods.

When years before,they were giving Turkeys for free and
dry goods to the same people who were making lines at
the Barnyard.

That is why most were discouraged to appear on that day,
thinking that they might not be able to get something.
Just the same,Thanksgiving day has to be celebrated and
will continue to signify a cherished day for every
family to thank the good Lord for all the blessings
each family member received during the year and to share
it with those who mostly needed them.

Till then ,Happy Thanksgiving to all of us!
