Douglas County Past: Superior couple spare pet turkeys; bakery fined for not living up to its name
From the Nov. 27, 1952 Telegram: "While hundreds of turkeys were prepared for the festivities in Superior homes, Ma and Pa Turkey owned by the Slettens were spared the ax. They are being kept to raise a family. Oren Sletten, co-owner of the miniature turkey farm, has made such pets of the birds he said that he wouldn’t kill them to eat if he never tasted turkey again."
