Did Thanksgiving Sneak Up on You?

Y’all, Its November 16, 2018 and Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! We can’t believe it. Time flies when you’re having fun, and this year seems like it’s lasted only a few short weeks. If it wasn’t for the cold weather, I may have found myself on Thanksgiving Day with nothing prepared. Having realized that this morning, I have compiled a list of places where Lake Oconee residents may go to dine on Turkey Day, if you feel more like spending your day enjoying your family than cooking in the kitchen. JUST SAY NO to piles of dirty dishes and hours of food prep. Let someone else worry about that!
