Grocery stores across the Rogue Valley are seeing a demand for small Thanksgiving turkeys as people plan to host smaller gatherings.<\/p>\n
Store director Jared Mulhollen says a lot of customers are looking for 12 to 14 pound birds, rather than 20 pound ones.<\/p>\n
He says they have a lot of turkeys in stock, which is great for last-minute shoppers.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrozen birds are not a problem,” Mulhollen said. “By Wednesday evening they’re pretty much gone. So if you want a fresh bird, you know, come on in and we’ll take care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Governor Kate Brown is calling for Oregonians to celebrate Thanksgiving with only one other household this year.<\/p>\n
This means gatherings are limited to two households, or a maximum of six people.<\/p>\n
Customer Barbara Wilde says it’s a smart idea to have smaller gatherings during this time to slow the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe never know when we\u2019re walking around in the community, who has it and who doesn\u2019t,” Wilde said. “So, we take precautions, we wear a mask, we sanitize our hands, we wash our hands, just so we don\u2019t spread it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
