10 Fun Thanksgiving Facts

Your favorite restaurant on the Bagnell Dam Strip will be taking the day off for Thanksgiving to enjoy it with our loved ones.  Not to worry though, because we have tons of fun planned for the weekend following it!  Until then, all of us here at Tuckers Shuckers thought that you might enjoy some fun facts about Thanksgiving that you may not know.  Whip out a few of these at the table Thursday and impress the family.  


#1- A few towns in the U.S.A. have some tasty names that would go great together on a Thanksgiving table:

Turkey, Texas

Turkey, North Carolina

Cranberry, Pennsylvania

Roll, Arizona

Spuds, Florida

Corn, Oklahoma

Pie Town, New Mexico

#2- Female turkeys don't gobble!  They actually make more of a small, chirping noise.  The males are the ones making all of the gobbling noises, trying to attract those quiet females.

#3- To remain safe from predators, turkeys can be found sleeping in trees.  They can also turn their necks for a 360-degree view, so don't try to sneak up on them.  Spook them and they can run at speeds up to 20 miles per hour!  

#4- Canada also celebrates Thanksgiving, but not at the same time we do.  Their celebration takes place on the second Monday of October.  

#5- The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621, and it lasted three days.

#6- Abraham Lincoln is the president that officially declared the last Thursday in November as the national day for Thanksgiving. 

#7- Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird.  If that had happened, would be eating eagle on Thanksgiving instead?

#8- The annual Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade has been going on since 1924, but was originally called the Macy's Christmas Parade to signify the beginning of the holiday shopping season.

#9- Instead of giant balloons, the original Macy's parade featured live animals from the Central Park Zoo.

#10- True meat-lovers may opt for Turducken at their Thanksgiving feast.  This incredible dish originated in Louisiana.  It is made up of a turkey (Tur-) stuffed with a duck (-duck-) which has been stuffed with a chicken (-en)!

The only problem that we have with the traditional Thanksgiving table is the lack of oysters, but I guess we can let that slide for one day of the year.  The best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks will have plenty of oysters for you to fill up on the day after Thanksgiving.  Don't forget to join us for Beer Pong on Wednesday night before the holiday, our awesome 90's dance party on the Friday after, the singer-songwriter show on Saturday, and of course, football all weekend long!  

Everyone here at Tuckers Shuckers would like to wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving.  We look forward to seeing you many times during the holidays!

Let's Party Like It's the '90's!

After stuffing yourself full of Thanksgiving turkey and all the fixings, you may need to get a little exercise in to combat all those calories.  Well, we've got the perfect way for you to do that.  Dance the night away to all of your favorite 90's hits at Tuckers Shuckers 90's Party!  Your favorite bar at the Lake of the Ozarks will be throwing one fly night celebrating this dope decade. 

Friday, November 27, 2015 the fun will get started at 8 pm, and we'll be partyin' on the whole night until close.  Promo girls will be passing out goodies, and there will be incredible drink and shot specials to help you blow off a bit of the Thanksgiving weekend stress.  We all love our families, but when you get a lot of them together in a room, you can use a little time to unwind after.  We'll also have a DJ playing all of those 90's hits that you couldn't get enough of.
