Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has pardoned two turkeys named Caitlin and Clark in a Thanksgiving tradition honoring the state’s basketball star Caitlin Clark. The turkeys were spared from ending up on the dinner table and will now live out the rest of their days at Living History Farms in Urbandale.
Caitlin Clark is a standout player for the University of Iowa women’s basketball team and was recently named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Clark has quickly become a fan favorite with her impressive skills on the court, leading to the naming of one of the turkeys after her.
Governor Reynolds expressed her love for the tradition of pardoning turkeys and highlighted the importance of compassion and kindness during the holiday season. The event at Living History Farms was attended by supporters of Caitlin Clark and basketball fans who cheered for the turkeys as they were granted their freedom.
The pardoning of Caitlin and Clark is a heartwarming gesture that celebrates both Thanksgiving and Iowa’s sports heroes, bringing a touch of joy and gratitude to the holiday festivities.
