Celebrate Thanksgiving in Orange County this Year!
Thanksgiving is traditionally a time to celebrate with delectable food and good company with your family. However, airline tickets are especially high during this time of year. If you live in the area and cannot make it back to wherever you call home this year, there is no reason to feel left out. Don’t just sit and home and watch everyone else on social media have a good time. You can check out one of these Orange County events taking place on Thanksgiving Day as a fun alternative!
