Turkey Struts Stuff in Local Bank Lobby
A Purple Turkey!! --Carol Dideum, left, and Helen Rasmussen, employees of the McMinnville branch of the U.S. National Bank. gaze in wonderment at the light purple colored tom turkey who struts his stuff in the bank lobby, promoting mid-summer turkey time. Each ye at this time, both locally and nationally, a vast campaign gets underway to put turkey on the nation’s dinner tables during the whole year, not merely for the holiday season. An abundance of turkeys exist in Yamhill county, the state's largest producer of the big birds.
