Annual Turkey Calling Show - CANCELED

Wednesday, November 22, 2023 from 12 PM to 1 PM
UCSD Geisel Library
All Ages
Free

Update Nov. 14, 2023: This event has been canceled by the organizers.

It’s that time of year again! Join us for our Annual Turkey Calling Show and learn more about the beloved turkey through calling techniques and more.

This noisy show at the Library has become a community tradition. Kids are welcome (and they’ll be reciting turkey-related riddles). Presented as an old-time radio show, this celebration is filled with music, sound effects, stories and facts of interest… prizes, too (no one leaves empty-handed).

Your host and bandleader Scott Paulson, a UC San Diego alumnus and exhibits and events coordinator at the Library, has been lauded by the San Diego Union-Tribune for his entertaining shows: “an avant-garde vaudevillian, think Samuel Beckett meets John Cage.” The Los Angeles Times relayed “Paulson’s brand of G-rated fun, a sort of modern-day morphing of Captain Kangaroo and Spike Jones, is always lively and at times wonderfully chaotic.”

Special guests this year: Story Lady Melanie Peters, DJ Camille Cannon and Turkey Hotline Operator Karen Fisher.

Location: UC San Diego Library, Seuss Room
