Turkey Tickets Selling Fast For Thanksgiving

Del.icio.us

Hundreds of spaces in at least three imus are being gobbled up fast in Windward Oahu’s Thanksgiving kalua turkey tradition.

Castle and Kailua high schools and KEY Project in Kahaluu offer the service every year, along with canoe clubs and others. The special treat of having a succulent bird roasted in a fiery underground oven costs $15 for each well-wrapped, unstuffed offering, delivered to the site the day before the holiday.

Below are the fowl facts - and remember, space sells out quickly.
