Thanksgiving Dinner

This Thanksgiving my family and I all went to the Lafayette Hotel in Marietta, Ohio. This is the second year we have had Thanksgiving at the Lafayette and maybe the most interesting. The meals are served buffet style and at the end of the buffet is where the meat carvers stand and serve you either turkey or chicken. There was a slight power surge at the carving station which resulted in a small fire. Our table was seated right next to the carving station, where we watched workers quickly unplug the equipment and stomp out the fire. No one was hurt and there was also no need to evacuate so we went on eating our meal. Other than that, it was great dinner, the food was good, and we got to see friends and family. The only issue is that they are going to have to replace the carpet in the ballroom. 

The Lafayette is a very important building where I am from. It is considered to be one of the crown gems of Marietta. Not only is it important to the city but it is also important to my family. We have attended many events at the Lafayette. I have had pageants there, we have Thanksgiving there, and my uncle even got married there. So I am very happy that the Lafayette did not go up in flames this Thanksgiving.

Until next time,
