Local Veterans Invited to Turkey Chili Dinner in Avon

Miller Foods in Avon, a poultry business that is also the home of Oma’s Pride pet food, invites all local veterans to a Turkey Chili Dinner on Tuesday, Nov. 10 from 4 to 7 p.m.

Members of the Avon Volunteer Fire Department will prepare the chili with ground turkey provided by Miller Foods. Cornbread and hot dogs are also on the menu, as well as desserts including pies from Miller Foods and ice cream donated by J Foster. Local Boy Scouts will serve up the food.

This is the fourth consecutive year the family-owned and operated business has hosted the event, one in a series called “Thanks for Giving” that the Miller Foods family designed to show appreciation to service groups in the community.

The tradition began in November 2011 and involves K9 police officers and their canine partners; search and rescue organizations; the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation; and First Company Governor’s Horse Guards.

Veterans can also receive a 20 percent off Miller Foods coupon toward their purchase of items for their holiday meal.

Miller Foods, located at 308 Arch Road, will open its annual Thanksgiving Tent on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 8 a.m. Along with turkeys, fixings and desserts are available for purchase under the tent through Wednesday, Nov. 25 at 2 p.m. For information, call 860-673-3256 or e-mail info@millerfoodsonline.com.
