Turkeys with Angel Wings

The Veterans’ Memorial Building, just a tiara’s toss from Stearns Wharf, was socially gridlocked when 600 needy guests descended on the oceanside locale for the fifth annual Thanksgiving lunch organized by Adam’s Angels, founded by Douglas Elliman realtor Adam McKaig.

More than 350 pounds of turkey breast bought at Shalhoob’s found its way to the PATH homeless shelter, which donated its kitchen to cook the handsome fare, along with nearly 100 pumpkin and apple pies given by community members and 120 volunteers waiting on tables.

Musical entertainment was provided by former American Idol contestant Jackson Gillies, longtime entertainment director Maitland Ward, Brian Mann, Randy Tico, Ray Pannell, Craig Thatcher, Toby Lampson, Craig Sharmat, Michael Andrews, Jason Libs, Miriam Dance, Leslie Lembo, Michael Henszey, Freda Ramey, and Sophie Holt.

Santa Barbara Humane volunteered to sit with four legged guests while their owners dined inside.

Singer Katy Perry’s father Keith Hudson gave the blessing.

Other supporters included Peter and Kathryn Martin, fun loving Franciscan friar Larry Gosselin, Dana Hansen, Jamie Knee, Rick Oshay and Teresa Kuskey, Tyler Geck, Alma Rose Middleton, and Carmen Munoz.

All of them earning their wings…
