Enjoy Thanksgiving Festivities in Watsonville
There is a charity flag football game in the morning and free dinners this afternoon.
Thanksgiving is a time for family, but it's also a chance to connect with your community and Watsonville offers several opportunities to do so Thursday.
Start at 8 a.m. with the fourth annual Watsonville Turkey Bowl, a seven-on-seven charity flag football game at Rolling Hills Middle School.
Watch former high school stars and groups of friends take the field for a bit of fun and exercise before the big holiday meal. The tournament also is a benefit for Second Harvest Food Bank this year.
