The folks at Sellner are still working on those birds. They’re located in Minnesota. Gives a new meaning to cold turkey, eh? Please excuse the view, but if you’d like to take a gander at the tail feathers, here they are: That slogan shows a lot of pluck: “Whirling since 1926.” Wow. Eighty years of…
