Cuero Texas and Worthington Minnesota dispute origins of the turkey parade. Worthington asserts its 1938 festival, Cuero counters with earlier Cuero Turkey Trot roots. A Cuero mayoral proclamation befriends Worthington while reaffirming Cuero as originator.
Cuero Record proposes an annual intercity turkey race with Worthington Daily Globe sharing trophy funding. Each city sends its top gobbler to the other's soil for timed runs, two trials per site, and an average determines the winner to hold the floating trophy for a year.
From Cuero Texas the tale of Rebel Tom the old parade turkey who sparked a yearly Thanksgiving trot begins in 1912. Cuero cheers a growing festival with bands and floats and a claim to the Turkey Capital title that rivals Worthington’s 1938 festival.
