Where else can you find race teams herding their star "athletes" - wild racing turkeys - down main street? The Great Gobbler Gallop is part of Worthington, Minnesota's fall festival, going on its 70th year. This year's King Turkey Day Celebration was on Saturday, September 19, 2009. KTD always falls on the second Saturday after Labor Day. This was the 37th year that Worthington and Cuero have been competing for the title of "Turkey Capital of the World". 1973-2009
Please be sure to visit Cuero Turkey Fest, (the second leg of the Great Gobbler Gallop) to be held in Cuero, Texas on October 10, 2009!
