Minnesota Turkey Growers Hunger Solutions Minnesota

Agriculture Commissioner Gene Hugoson wrestles with a turkey, bringing attention to the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association gift of 24,000 pounds of turkey and $6,650 to Hunger Solutions Minnesota. Behind Hugoson Tuesday are Rahn Annis of Willmar, president of the turkey association, left, and the association Executive Director Steve Olson. Gov. Tim Pawlenty stood to the side, telling Hugoson to get the turkey out of its cage and put it on a table for photographers. In past yearly pre-Thanksgiving turkey events, Pawlenty has handled the turkey himself. Pioneer Photo/Don Davis
