The Holiday Spirit Meal is an annual tradition in Vernon on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Pat and Glenna Bryant hosted a Thanksgiving and Christmas meal for the community more than three decades ago following a good year in business.

“We just did it on our own that first year, never dreaming it would continue this many years,” Glenna said in 2016 when the couple handed the reins over to another local couple, Sharon and Billy Goins. Pat passed away in late December of that year.
