Can you imagine walking to New York City from Kansas in the middle of hunting season? Well that’s exactly what Timmy the Turkey did.
It all started in Smallville, Kansas in Herbivore Restaurant, when Timmy was watching TV. While watching TV, he saw a commercial for help setting up for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, so he called the event manager and was told him to go to the 7th block of Times Square in 3 days. That meant he had to pack right away and start walking.
During his lovely walk through Cuba, Missouri, Timmy encountered a huge problem, HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST DURING HUNTING SEASON!!! He started walking very quickly, dodging trees and deer. He made it out of being the next thanksgiving dinner because the hunters were low on ammunition. After walking over 900 miles, Timmy got hungry so he decided to stop by Chick-fil-A to get a nice chicken dinner. When he was looking for what he was going to get, he spotted the seasonal menu. The seasonal menu consisted of all turkey entrees. After finding the turkey menu, he sprinted to the nearest Krispy Kreme to get a donut that for sure didn’t consist of any meat. After finishing his donut, he continued on his path to New York City. Upon arriving in New York City he missed a turn and ended up in the Bronx. In the Bronx he met a gang of turkeys trying to build a float for the parade. Timmy decides to help them for an hour, and then go over to Times Square. While helping them, they decide to nickname him, so that meant Timmy the turkey became Tim the Turk. While helping the gang he backed into a table that had bottle of white paint that spilled on Tim the Turk, coloring him white till he could get to his hotel room to clean up. After an hour, Tim the Turk left to head to...

...lt proud that he was able to pull the balloon that everybody looked forward to.
After the parade Timmy called his family to inform them that he wouldn’t make it back in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Timmy was sad, but the entire float crew threw him a special Thanksgiving party, celebrating all success they had while making the floats. At the party Timmy meets another turkey that helped with a different floats, her name was Trisha. Trisha and Timmy were both from Smallville but didn’t know it. After a long discussion Trisha and Timmy decided to hitchhike home together, stopping at many restaurants to eat pumpkin pie. Soon after arriving in Smallville, Trisha and Timmy decide to get engaged and work the Macy’s Christmas Day Parade together.
Trisha and Timmy lived happily ever after and made it an annual event to design floats for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
