What do "Turkeys" have to do with it? Cuero Turkeyfest is a celebration
of which the North Star, Worthington, Minnesota and the Lone Star, Cuero,
Texas come together for the 2nd heat of a friendly rivalry of the GREAT

place directly before the parade. The winning turkey receives the "Traveling
Turkey Trophy of Tumultuous Triumph" to sport in their town for the next
year. After the parade through downtown on Esplanade its up to the city
park where the action takes place, featuring Dances and Live Entertainment
under the covered pavilion. Also, for your enjoyment your guarenteed lots
of Food, Beer, Arts & Crafts, Jalapeno Eating Contest, Turk Olympics,
