CHANDLER, Okla. -
Today's fun Throwback Thursday video is from Thanksgiving 1924 when the Chandler Chamber of Commerce gave away turkeys by tossing them off the roof.
At the time, people in need could gather at the Lincoln County Courthouse and wait below for a turkey to be tossed from the roof.
Whoever caught it got to keep it and cook it for their Thanksgiving meal.
The challenge wasn't so much catching the bird as it was holding on to it.
