Nelson 151 businesses, parents fundraise to give a turkey to every NCPS employee [Video]

In a festive scene outside Nelson County High School on Nov. 22, county schools’ employees received free turkeys as a sign of thanks from the community.

While students were letting out for Thanksgiving break, Nelson County Public Schools staff were flocking to a table manned by volunteers in green and gold T-shirts, and then heading home with a gourmet KellyBronze turkey in hand.

On Nov. 20, $1 of every drink sold at the 15 breweries, cideries, distilleries and wineries along the Virginia 151 corridor in Nelson went toward the project, and volunteer parents and Virginia 151 business owners passed out turkeys after school Nov. 21 at Rockfish River Elementary School and Nov. 22 at NCHS.
