Ripping off the slogan for The Masters golf tournament, an Emporia tradition unlike any other takes place Thursday.
The Emporia Church of Christ has hosted a Thanksgiving community meal now for better than 30 years. Pastor Neil Taylor says meals will be served inside the church, as was the case last year.
There will be no delivery meals this year. Taylor says the delivery demand — which in prior years topped 600 — was too much for the church to handle, based on volunteer and vehicle availability.
Turkeys, hams and all the side dishes will be available along with pies. The meal is free.
Serving takes place at the church at 12th and Neosho from 11 am to 1 pm. For more information
