After last week’s post about our inaugural Turkey Bowl, a game initiated following our move to Vermont, someone shared a photo of the 5th Annual Turkey Bowl. In looking at the photo, I was struck by two things: Thanksgiving in northern Vermont can have you in 6 inches of snow one year, and shorts and t-shirts the next. Second: how our numbers (and fun!) grew every year.
The phrase “Build it, and they will come” originated in the 1989 movie Field of Dreams, but it has now become a metaphor for creating valuable things and the natural attraction that draws people to them. The phrase highlights the importance of vision, action, and faith in all endeavors. It encourages individuals to take a leap of faith and trust that their efforts will eventually attract attention, support, or success.
Our Turkey Bowl exemplifies this perfectly. By creating something meaningful and fostering an inclusive atmosphere, we’ve watched our community naturally expand, proving that authentic experiences have a magnetic quality – whether in sports, business, or community building.
