Jill: Hi, this is Jill.

Tanya: This is Tanya.

Jill: And we're from Oklahoma, and motor cross is one sport in our community where family and friends and neighbors come together. So today, we're at a motor cross track.

Tanya: To win a turkey for Thanksgiving.

Jill: And we have sons and dads and daughters, all that competed in races, and pit back races to win a turkey.

Tanya: And we actually brought home three turkeys today that we've donated to the needy. And how many did your son get Jill?

Jill: Two turkeys and one Cornish hen.

Tanya: Oh, that's so great.
