Jackson Participates in Annual Turkey Pardoning Ceremony

Last week, Chris Jackson, a former commissioner from Lawrence County, had the honor of attending the annual Turkey Pardoning Ceremony held on the South Lawn of the White House. This event, which has become a cherished tradition since its inception in 1947, saw President Joe Biden receiving two turkeys from the National Turkey Federation. Jackson was among a select group of attendees invited to witness this festive occasion, which symbolizes a lighthearted moment in the midst of the holiday season. The ceremony not only highlights the importance of Thanksgiving but also serves as a reminder of the longstanding customs that bring people together during this time of year.
