There will be no pre-Thanksgiving Day community dinner at Tuckerton’s Red Men Lodge in 2020.

In a effort to tamp down the spread of COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning folks not to go over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house this Thanksgiving. And the warning doesn’t apply just to families the size of the Waltons. Public health officials say even small gatherings of people from different households could be dangerous.
