Thanksgiving is a holiday that is celebrated with iconic traditions like the foods we eat, the people we spend it with, and the words we exchange. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade is an annual event in New York that started in 1924. Is it a tradition in your family?

Seeing The World Through People
Makalya P., Teen Scene Freelance Writer • November 1, 2024
The annual Brunswick County Intercultural Festival took place Saturday October 12th this year at the Riverwalk Park in Bellville.
