CHICOPEE, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - Continuing a 31-year-long tradition in Chicopee, the Knights of Columbus are preparing to open their doors for a Thanksgiving feast.

The operation started off last Friday with the defrosting of the turkeys and on Monday morning, the knights began cleaning and cooking as many as possible.

This will continue through Tuesday, with them making the stuffing on Wednesday.

We’re told close to 3,000 meals will be ready to go Thursday morning.
