President Donald Trump will officially pardon two turkeys on Tuesday at 12 noon at the White House, as part of the annual turkey pardon that has become a Thanksgiving holiday tradition.

Hailing from North Carolina, Gobble and Waddle will each receive a presidential pardon, but only one will participate in the official ceremony where Trump is expected to make a few comments.

Following the ceremony, the two turkeys will spend the rest of their lives under the care of the Prestage Department of Poultry Science at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, where they will have dedicated housing, daily care and veterinary services, according to an Office of the First Lady press release.

The pardoning tradition officially began at the 1989 presentation with President George H.W. Bush, who declared that the turkey “will not end up on anyone’s dinner table, not this guy – he’s presented a presidential pardon as of right now – and allow him to live out his days on a children’s farm not far from here.”

Since then, 60 turkeys have been pardoned and saved from ending up on Thanksgiving dinner tables. The American people also get involved with the tradition, including this year, by choosing the names of the turkeys to be pardoned. Gobble and Waddle’s names were selected via an online poll sent out on social media by the Office of the First Lady.
