La Moille church to host March 20 turkey supper

Cost is $13 per meal

You're looking at a $65 tab to make this Thanksgiving dinner, and that's not counting beer or wine. The Farm Bureau conducted a national survey of holiday purchases and the average cost of a Turkey Day feast is up 13% over last year thanks to high fuel costs and a nasty bird flu, among other factors.

A drive-thru turkey supper is scheduled 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 20, at the Community United Methodist Church, 73 N. Main St., La Moille.

Cost is $13 for a meal. The meal includes turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, two cold salads and a choice of pie.

There are no pre-sale tickets and no call-ins. Drive up, place an order and food will be brought to the vehicle.
