A Negaunee family's turkey goes up in flames.
NEGAUNEE -- A Negaunee family has reason to give thanks because of the generosity of a local grocery store.
Their eventful day began Thursday afternoon when the Seppala family was deep frying a turkey. The oil overheated and caught fire.
The Negaunee Fire Department was called to the backyard of the home on East Lincoln Street. There was no damage to the home, but their Thanksgiving dinner went up in flames.
Jill Seppala and her son Brad went to Super One Foods in Negaunee to pick up some rotisserie chickens to make up for the turkey they lost. But the chickens had already been out too long and the grocery store could no longer sell them.
When the Seppala's explained what happened, Super One put together a Thanksgiving feast for the family including turkey and mashed potatoes...all for free. It was enough to feed ten people.
