From Connecticut-
Four days after a fire wreaked heavy damage to Saugatuck Congregational Church, more than 100 volunteers cooked, carved and served 36 turkeys to more than 200 attendees Thursday at the church's 41st annual Thanksgiving community feast.
"This is the first year we're not hosting the dinner in our church," said Mary Ann West, spokeswoman for the 179-year-old house of worship. "But it's only because so many in the community stepped up that we're having it at all."
Within the first 60 minutes of the six-hour blaze Sunday, West said church officials received multiple offers from others to host the free community dinner at alternate locations in town.
Church leaders chose Christ and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church at 75 Church Lane, West said, partly because it's nearby the landmark church on Post Road East.
