Annual Thanksgiving Dinner 2019

SBT and WCSS employees serve turkey, corn, rolls, and greens to community members.

​This year on Sunday, November 24th, SBT and WCSS proudly hosted the annual North Greenwood Thanksgiving Dinner right in their front yard! For over 15 years, hundreds of community members have gathered to share a meal and celebrate the successes of the community for which they are grateful. In the past, this event has been graciously been hosted in O’Neil Larkin’s front yard, but this year, the event moved a few yards down the street in front of the SBT and WCSS factories. Greg Pickren, SBT owner, explains this year’s change:

We are always so impressed with the turnout at the annual Thanksgiving dinner. With the help of many community members, particularly our good friend O’Neil Larkin, this event has become a very successful and joyous celebration that we look forward to every year. To accommodate the large number of guests that share a meal together, we moved the location to our factory. This change will allow SBT and WCSS to continue their on-going support of the North Greenwood community for years to come.

​A full Thanksgiving dinner was provided to over 1,500 people courtesy of SBT, WCSS, and the North Greenwood community. Clearwater mayor, George Cretekos, welcomed community members at the event. Attendees ate good food, shared stories about the community,  and enjoyed the entertainment!
