Common allergens hide in surprising holiday favorites, but communication and preparation help families safely enjoy the season

For those who are cooking at home for the family this Thanksgiving, health officials have some suggestions to keep everyone happy and healthy. They say that cooking the turkey to the proper temperature is key.

They are hoping to feed more than 3,000 people on Thursday at the Lima Thanksgiving Dinner. The turkey is sliced, the dressing is prepped and the potatoes are bagged all in preparation for Thursday's Thanksgiving dinner. 

Thanksgiving is only two days away, and Lima South Science and Technology students are celebrating early! On Tuesday afternoon, the kids gathered at the tables to feast upon a traditional Thanksgiving meal. On the menu was venison, sweet potatoes, and apple crisps. Many staff members help served the meal while dressing up as pilgrims and Native Americans. During the feast, we talked with two students about the impact Thanksgiving has on them.

Thanksgiving is a week away, and while you may have a lot of friends and family coming over, don't unexpectedly add the fire department to your guest list. Cooking fires are three times more common on turkey day than on any other day of the year. Fire officials say to stay alert while you are cooking. People can get distracted while getting their home ready for guests, but that is when a spill in the oven or on the stove could lead to something bigger. Also, keep paper towels and napkins away from heated surfaces, and if you plan on deep frying a turkey, the Lima Fire Department has this advice.
