Here is what you will find in the Ithaca Journal's Thanksgiving edition

Edward Harris, Ithaca Journal

Just like your dinner table will be packed with food on Thursday, the Journal's Thanksgiving issue will be packed with stories and information about the upcoming holiday season.

And, as a special bonus, you will receive it on Wednesday, a day earlier.

The Thanksgiving edition, the largest of the year, will include news stories, a bonus section with children’s games, a sports viewing guide and more, along with a giant crossword puzzle.

Do not forget the ads. The Thanksgiving edition will include all the ads from your favorite retailers. The ads can help you decide your shopping plans for Black Friday or later in the season.

On Thursday, the Journal will be available only via our E-Edition, which will have more stories, plus our daily puzzles and comics.

Here is a little sample of what you can look forward to in the Thanksgiving edition, along with our website, ithacajournal.com.

Jake’s story will have the answers.

The Thanksgiving paper also will include a list of some of the events going on in the upcoming holiday season. These events will include some of those going on in Ithaca and the greater region.

Bonus items

Beyond the stories, the Thanksgiving paper will have a bonus section, highlighted by a special two-page crossword puzzle, that should provide you with hours of entertainment between the big games.

Other items included in the bonus section include:

  • A sports viewing guide for the holiday weekend.

  • A full two pages of recipes, along with food hotlines, should you make a mistake following the recipes.

  • Beyond the giant crossword puzzle, there will be a kid's coloring area and children’s games, along with more games and puzzles for adults.

  • You will also find more stories, including how people are celebrating the holiday season.

And if you'd rather read us online, be sure to check us out through the week when we'll be publishing these and other local stories aimed at getting you through the holiday season.

On behalf of the whole Ithaca Journal team, I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving with friends and family.
