Cuero’s celebrity turkey Ruby Begonia got a big send off last week for the Worthington, Minn., Turkey Gallop on Saturday, Sept. 13.
Ruby Begonia, known as the “Fastest Turkey in the South,” traveled to Worthington, Minn., with handlers to face off against Paycheck, named as such because “nothing goes faster than a paycheck.” The rest of Ruby Begonia’s race team followed by plane later.
The two wild turkeys competed in the first leg of the race during the Minnesota town’s King Turkey Day festival, Sept. 11-13. Then, Paycheck will journey to Cuero with the Minnesota town’s race team to take on Ruby Begonia in the second leg of the race during Cuero’s Turkeyfest celebration Friday to Sunday, Oct. 10-12.
