The Inspiration

The real town turkey appeared the beginning of May on the busiest street corner in Lake Bluff (Green Bay Road and Route 176). He was captured and taken away on Friday, August 6 to the dismay of some, and the relief of others.

But all can agree that the town turkey left a lasting impression on the Village of Lake Bluff.
