"The turkey was raised by Jerry Jerome, the National Turkey Federation Secretary Treasurer, in West Concord, Minnesota."  Ron read the article aloud for the table.  "During the ceremony, the turkey apparently did not realize it was being pardoned and instead took a moment of unobservance to flee.  After being recaptured and granting the turkey its stay of execution, President Nichols said, "I must say of all the years I've been here, this is the most adventurous turkey we've had." The turkey will be relocated to and live the rest of its life in Fairfax County, Virginia."
