How much for the “turkey in a bowl” lunch?
I’m goofy! I looked under “Menu” on your nice web site and found my answer. I definitely won’t go hungry! Thank you.
Great job on the website.
What a lovely “new and improved” website. We’re excited about the festival this year and look forward to seeing friends and Woodlief family members!
Very nice web site.
Can you please advise what the cost is to attend the Thanksgiving Festival?
