Thus, you can pridefully show them off at your home or give them as special gifts.

1863 Thanksgiving Celebration
On November 27th and 28th is the Old Bethpage Village Restoration’s 1863 Thanksgiving Celebration. Re-creating a mid-19th century community, the visitors can enjoy the sights and aromas of an old-fashioned Thanksgiving.

Long Island Turkey Trail Trot 5K
Head down to Bethpage State Park this fall. Then support the Never Stop Running Foundation for the third annual Long Island Turkey Trail Trot. Plus, run through the scenic trails of the park and then walk away with some great turkey sway to then commemorate your achievement. This is fun for the whole family.
Location: Bethpage State Park, 99 Quaker Meeting House Road, Bethpage.
Pumpkin Drop at the Cradle of Aviation Museum
Watch your pumpkins go splat as the gravity does take over where The Cradle of Aviation Museum invites visitors to drop them from the museum’s second-floor balcony. Plus, bring your own pumpkin or purchase one from the museum for $2 is while the supplies last. On the two floors, the pumpkins then become a pile of pulp two floors below. Thus, it is a great way to demonstrate the effects of gravity. Plus, a great opportunity to let out some frustration out.
