See below for an artist’s rendering of Merced’s first Thanksgiving dinner. As every Merced schoolboy and schoolgirl learns, then up-and-coming Governess Wooten presided over Merced’s first Thanksgiving dinner in 1641, thus enshrining Merced’s ceremonial “weak Governor” (later Mayor) position.
From Governess Wooten’s diary: “Thee Guidesmen very much enjoyed our Gifts of Blackened Tri-Tip and Inoculated Blankets. We have included their Lands in Merced’s Specific Urban Development Plan in order to Beautify and Protect them in Perpetuity. This shall be known as Sensible Enlargement of Our City.”
