From today’s Playbook: 

TO TELL THE KIDS: At 10:30 a.m., “President Obama will pardon … Liberty and its alternate Peace, both 19-week old, 45-pound turkeys. … After the pardoning, the turkeys will be driven to George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens. The National Thanksgiving Turkey will be on display … during ‘Christmas at Mount Vernon’ … through Jan. 6. After the holidays, the National Thanksgiving Turkey and its alternate will live in a custom-made enclosure at Mount Vernon’s … livestock facility. Both birds were raised in Willmar, Minn.”’
