Market Update
We would like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy this time with your family and friends. If you are not up for cooking this year, Maui has lots of places to get a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. Most of the resorts serve a special turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. Details can be found at Thanksgiving on Maui.
We all know the story of the first Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving didn't become a National Holiday until 200 years later. One of the most influential advocates petitioning for Thanksgiving to be observed as a National Holiday was Sarah Josepha Hale, also the author of the popular nursery rhyme "Mary had a Little Lamb."
The National Turkey Federation (yes a real organization) says 46 million turkeys are consumed in the United States on Thanksgiving. This is one fifth of the annual turkeys consumed in the U.S. The average Thanksgiving day turkey is 15 pounds. These and more fun Thanksgiving day facts at Thanksgiving history Facts.
Have a wonderful week.
