Starting a Turkey Bowl in Richmond

If you are asking yourself the question, so what day is Thanksgiving Day 2019? If so, chances are you have a lot on your plate! From grocery lists, dessert menus, to organizing the invite list, we know this can be a little stressful! Thankfully, we have you covered on all things football! We have a great Thanksgiving Day Turkey Bowl idea near your chic Richmond apartments!

History of American Football on Thanksgiving

Football and Thanksgiving go hand-in-hand. Thanksgiving Day would not be complete without football! The first official game between two Ivy League schools was in 1876. Since then, playing football during Thanksgiving has caught on! Many families across the US participate in this tradition, and it is a time where loved ones can come together. Every year, families bring their A-game and unite bright and early for a friendly game of football.

Local Big Games

We know there are many football games to watch on Thanksgiving. But why not have a game of your own? This year, 6th Annual Dino Ghilotti Motta Thanksgivin’ Turkey Bowl will be held the morning after Thanksgiving Day. The Turkey Bowl will be held at Marin Catholic High School promptly at 9:00 am! This is a Turkey Bowl for a great cause, as proceeds will go to Marin Catholic High School scholarships. The event will also help raise funds to improve the arts and athletic facilities in the North Bay campus of the University of Miami!

Start a Turkey Bowl family tradition

If you are not a part of a Turkey Bowl tradition, we encourage you to let 2019 be the year you start! It is a great way to bring your family together, and establish fond memories. A great suggestion is to incorporate your own wacky tradition into the mix. You can create your own Turkey Bowl family trophy, the more ribbons and outlandish, the better!

Aren’t these great reasons to start your own Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl? Let us know if you’ll be having one this year!
