Hap­py Thanks­giv­ing from Gov­er­nors Island!

Nov 28, 2013 12:00 pm
Last year we shared a Thanks­giv­ing recipe from the Enlist­ed Men’s Wives Club of Gov­er­nors Island Cook­book, and we’ve heard there were some great Thanks­giv­ing Turkey Trots over the years for the Coast Guard brats who grew up here. Though the Island no longer has any per­ma­nent res­i­dents, there are hun­dreds of staff, design­ers, engi­neers, con­struc­tion and secu­ri­ty crew mem­bers, NPS park rangers, stu­dents, artists and oth­ers who trek out to the Island every day… and of course the hun­dreds of thou­sands of enthu­si­as­tic vis­i­tors, per­form­ers, and orga­ni­za­tions who come to expe­ri­ence the Island’s mag­ic every sum­mer. So this Thanks­giv­ing, we sim­ply want to send a big thank you to every­one who has sup­port­ed or con­tributed to the Island’s ongo­ing trans­for­ma­tion this year! Wish­ing every­one a safe and won­der­ful hol­i­day. [cap­tion id=“attachment_7361” align=“aligncenter” width=“468”]View of first 30 acres of new park from Liggett Hall.
