This is your official invitation to the annual Turkey Drive Spectacular.
For the final day of Turkey Drive, Edmonton AM will head to La Cité Francophone, 8627 Rue Marie-Anne Gaboury, for a morning of live music and great guests in support of the Edmonton Food Bank.
In a final push for donations, Mark Connolly and the morning show crew will broadcast from the heart of the city’s French neighbourhood on Thursday, Dec. 20, starting at 5:30 a.m. The event will end at 8:30 a.m.
Everyone is invited to join the festivities, feast on a free breakfast, be entertained by holiday carollers, and get a behind-the-scenes look at live radio in action.
