Once again, a group of volunteers is planning a huge Thanksgiving meal.
In fact, they are hoping to feed 1,000 people. If you want to attend the annual Johnson County Thanksgiving Banquet, here is what you need to know:
History: Johnson County Thanksgiving Banquet, an annual tradition that started in 2008 when church and civic leaders wanted to create a healing event to help the community following that summer’s devastating floods. The event has continued, and grown, especially with the recession and economic downturn.
When: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday
