"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." Melody Beattie
All of us at NATIONAL PARK VILLAGE are grateful for our loyal customers & friends. We hope you'll let us help make your life a little easier during this hectic holiday season.

THE COUNTRY MARKET
G. K. Chesterton said "God has never told us what a turkey means. And if you go and stare at a live turkey for an hour or two, you will find by the end of it that the enigma has rather increased than diminished."
Maybe, but this time of year, turkey gets all the props. Americans consume over 675 million pounds of the bird on Thanksgiving Day. We will be taking orders for fresh natural and organic turkeys starting November 5th. Follow us on Facebook and Estes Park News ads for details.
You'll need the perfect dessert, too. Try the new-to-us goodies from the Rocky Mountain Pie Company like apple, cherry and blueberry pies or mini apple and cherry crumb pies plus special for the Holidays Pumpkin Pie and Apple Caramel Pecan Galette.

Kick off November with National Sandwich Day on November 3rd, marking the birthday of John Montague, 4th Earl of Sandwich. Reluctant to leave the gaming tables, he ordered a slab of beef placed between slices of bread for one-handed dining. Little did he know what would become of his modest invention!
Every day is Sandwich Day in our Deli. They're always made to order, just the way you want them with the finest natural Boar's Head meats & cheeses on Aspen Bakery bread. (Order your party trays while you're there!)

Sarah Josepha Hale, author of "Mary had a Little Lamb" and one of the first people to call for a national Thanksgiving holiday, wrote in 1827, "The roasted turkey took precedence on this occasion, being placed at the head of the table; and well did it become its lordly station, sending forth the rich odor of its savory stuffing, and finely covered with the froth of the basting."
You'll find turkey & so much more on our tables! Bring your family to visit ours and make our Thanksgiving Buffet part of your holiday traditions...if it isn't already... on November 22nd from 11am to 7pm. Call 586-2171 now for reservations.
