Only in Davenport. Just as Des Moines has the fine tradition of demanding that Trick or Treaters produce jokes before they get a treat, Davenport has Turkey Notes. No treat involved but the activity is unique to Davenport. Essentially Turkey Notes are short poems one shares with a friend, not unlike a handwritten valentine. And, as with valentines, appearance counts. The traditional turkney note is rolled up and the edges are snipped so as to form a frill. Like the paper frills placed on turkey legs at a fancy dinner. So clever! Here is a sample:
