Vanessa is joined by her hilarious and festive sister-in-law, Christine Hankins, for a nostalgic trip into all things Thanksgiving and fall in the Tri-State area. Get ready for a heartwarming and laughter-filled trip down memory lane as they swap childhood traditions, debate the merits of turkey versus ham, and confess their all-time favorite holiday foods (spoiler: mashed potatoes and “crack corn” make the list).

Whether you live for the Macy’s Parade, love a good game night, or need inspiration for celebrating the season, come hang out for fun stories, family tips, and a celebration of everything that makes fall and Thanksgiving unique in our neck of the woods. Grab your mom water or apple cider, throw on your leggings, and let’s jump in!

If you have a memory you would want me to talk more about, just send me an email at TSTM@mail.com. Or post a comment on the Tri-State Machine FB Group page.

Whether you're a past resident or a current Tri-State resident, I think you're going to have fun with us.
