Bob the Turkey Honored with Headstone

The Woodstock Parks and Recreation Department placed an engraved marker at Bob's gravesite.

 

The community now has an official site to visit Bob the Turkey as he rests near his home on Main Street with a proper headstone.

Members from the Woodstock Parks and Recreation Department placed a brick marker engraved with "'Bob' the Turkey 2012" this morning for the beloved town mascot. The memorial site is still surrounded by flowers, notes and the sign from his home across the street.

Bob was buried last Tuesday, Jan. 17, by the Parks and Rec Department after he was first taken to the Rubes Creek Water Reclamation facility. But, because of the public demand, he was buried near the entrance of the Serenade subdivision and the Woodstock Welcome sign.

Bob was hit and killed Sunday, Jan. 15, by a car on Main Street. He had been an idol of Downtown Woodstock since he made his home outside Serenade in 2011.
