I'd suspect the same.  Even with the "famous grilled turkey" among the
proffered foods...   Whereas Plainville's reputation is that of
supplying good turkeys and having a relatively well rated restaurant on
the premises...  The village (hamlet?) of Plainville is rather small,
just before Baldwinsville on NY370, heading for Syracuse...  Don't think
they've ever fielded an event such as Tremont does... ;)

Yuck!   Somehow, it doesn't sound like meat to me...  turkey or
otherwise... although maybe in some previous incarnation there had been
some turkey present... maybe...  ;/   Of course, it probably also was
way overcooked...

Smart kitty...!    And very very telling... ;)
