Governor Herbert Pardon's Lucky Tom the Turkey

---

Saying he was one of the best looking turkeys raised in the State, Governor Gary Herbert offered an executive pardon from the holiday dinner table for “Lucky Tom” a 47 pound Sanpete-grown turkey during ceremonies at Thanksgiving Point.   Lucky Tom will remain at Thanksgiving Point’s Farm County poultry display for the remainder of his life.

Governor Herbert was joined by Commissioner of Agriculture and Food, Leonard Blackham; Norbest, Inc. President and CEO, Matt Cook; Norbest, Inc. Chairman of the Board, Troy Prestwich; and Thanksgiving Point CEO, Mike Washburn in acknowledging the good fortunes we enjoy during this time of the year.

Governor Herbert thanked Utah’s many farmers and ranchers for their hard work to produce an abundant food supply.  He said Utahns can be thankful this season for a more optimistic future when it comes to the economy.  Utah is developing jobs faster than the national average and the state’s economy is headed in the right direction.
