We got this crazy picture of a Pilgrim pushing Tacos for Thanksgiving. Must be a new ad campaign. What do you think?
While you're on Facebook, the City would like you to know that all City offices will be closed Thursday and Friday, November 27th and 28th, for Thanksgiving. As usual your Thomson Police Department will be working to keep you all safe, as they always do.
