Welcome to Prince William County's 1st Annual Turkey Drop Final!

In the infamous Turkey Drop Episode of WKRP in Cincinatti that aired on Oct. 30, 1978, "The Big Guy" launched a Thanksgiving Radio Promotion to give away Turkeys to fans for Thanksgiving. The idea was to toss the birds from a helicopter into the awaiting crowd below. Since Turkeys don't fly, this large Turkey giveaway turned to a mass bombing of the awaiting bird lovers.

Les Nessman was on location covering the chaos live: "What a sight, ladies and gentlemen. What a sight. The 'copter seems to circling the parking area now. I guess it's looking for a place to land. No! Something just came out of the back of a helicopter. It's a dark object, perhaps a skydiver plummeting to the earth from only two thousand feet in the air... There's a third... No parachutes yet... Those can't be skydivers. I can't tell just yet what they are but... Oh my God! They're turkeys! Oh no! Johnny can you get this? Oh, they're crashing to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! This is terrible! Everyone's running around pushing each other. Oh my goodness! Oh, the humanity! People are running about. The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Folks, I don't know how much longer... The crowd is running for their lives."

In the spirit of that episode, six NoVAGO cachers have agreed to drop 6 Turkey caches in the Prince William County and Manassas areas with a code letter inside that can be used to locate this bonus Turkey! See the map below for the areas each bird landed:
