Annual Turkey Pardon @ Children's Museum of Houston
Tuesday, November 23, 2021, 10:00am - 02:00pm

Gather your flock. You're cordially invited to join Kids' Committee Co-Presidents at the Museum's fourth-annual Presidential Turkey Pardon! Did you know that the tradition of "pardoning" the turkey at the White House, was actually started by a kid!? President Abraham Lincoln granted clemency to the main course of his family's Christmas Dinner in 1863 after his son, Tad, interceded on behalf of the turkey's life. Join us for the odd tradition of "pardoning" the turkey with fowl, fun, fitness and food. ‍

Activities: Meet the Bird of the Hour, Turkey Olympic Games, Turkey Pardon Signing, Turkey Pardon Ceremony, Turkey Sandwich Art

Location  Children's Museum of Houston, 1500 Binz St. Houston 77004
