Thanksgiving Day Plans 2016

This year in S. AZ Thanksgiving Day Dinner will be a treat for 6 of us. For a change someone else is doing the prep, cooking and cleanup.

Here is the Menu for where we are going and only 20 minutes away;

Here is where we'll be...The Francisco Grande Resort.

A little History;

"The Francisco Grande dates back to 1959 when San Francisco Giants owner Horace Stoneham developed the property as a spring training camp for his popular Major League Baseball team. Then Arizona Governor Paul Fannin attended the dedication before the first exhibition game in 1961, as did National League president Warren Giles, to an overflowing crowd. Optimism swirled like desert dust devils when Willie Mays hit a 375-foot home run off Gaylord Perry in the forth inning of the first ever game at Francisco Grande. "Francisco" was taken from the San "Francisco" Giants and "Grande" was taken from Casa "Grande"; thus the name "Francisco Grande." 

While Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal were honing their Hall of Fame skills, the Resort became an exclusive and intimate desert hideaway for Hollywood elites. Legends such as John Wayne, Dale Robertson, Pat Boone, and Gale Gordon made the Francisco Grande their home away from home."

You know if  'John' was there I have to visit. :)

We'll have a post Thanksgiving Dinner 'Review'.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
