Happy Thanksgiving from Visit Kilgore! 🦃🍽✨

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! A little Thanksgiving quote for you today and everyday:
"The easiest way is to dissect success, is through gratitude. Giving thanks for that which we do have, for what is working. Appreciating the simple things we sometimes take for granted. We give thanks for these things and that gratitude reciprocates, creating more to be thankful for."
- Matthew McConaughey
