Spot on with the gibsmedat crowd.

News of Marion Barry's death was quickly followed by announcement telling DC Ward 8 residents that Barry's Annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Give Away would proceed with thousands of turkeys being handed out.

Here's an older ticket.

You mean they actually have to show an ID to get a turkey? What a concept!

Wow is that real? Words fail me. How is that even legal?

Wonder where Barry got the money for this extravagant freebie. Extortion? Siphoning money from, say, the roads and bridges budget allocation?

It sounds like a decent effort — compelling the parents to take an interest in their children’s schooling, but I’ll bet most of the recipients failed to meet the requirements, yet were given a turkey anyway.
