Thanksgiving Is A Day Filled With Family And Good Food

This year, Thanksgiving fell on Thursday, November 27th. Families all over the country came together to celebrate the day that is all about being thankful for everything in our lives.

Country stars were no different. They got together with their families, cooked huge meals, and enjoyed their time together.

Check out our list of how our favorite country stars spent their Thanksgiving!

Tracy Lawrence

While he didn’t share what he did on the actual Thanksgiving holiday, Tracy Lawrence hosted a huge event on Wednesday (Nov. 26) for the 20th year in a row, his Turkey Fry and Benefit Concert.

Gretchen Wilson, Eric Paslay, Chris Cagle, and Halfway to Hazard, along with Lawrence, performed at the benefit concert on Tuesday (Nov. 25) at Category 10.

The Turkey Fry took place the following day at the Nashville Fairgrounds

On Thursday (Nov. 27), Lawrence revealed the event had raised $355,000, had 5,350 turkeys donated, and fed over 50,000 families in need.

This comes after Lawrence announced earlier in the week that 650 turkeys were damaged due to one of their refrigerated trucks breaking down. He called on his Nashville community to help donate 650 turkeys and ended up getting 2,400!
