Hey Neighbor,

It’s Thanksgiving time! By now you’ve either got the turkey prepped and the sides lined up—or you’ve secured that restaurant reservation and are ready to kick back and relax.

Cocoa Beach will be buzzing all weekend, so here are a few quick reminders:

• City Hall will be closed Thursday and Friday for the holiday. We’ll be back Monday at 8:30 AM.

• We’ve got lots happening around town: the Cookie Crawl, Turkey Trot 5K, Art Show, and the CBFD Chili Fest. Be safe and have fun out there!

• No trash collection on Thanksgiving Day. Check holiday schedules at www.WMFloridaHoliday.com.

From the City of Cocoa Beach to you and your family — Happy Thanksgiving! 

Cocoa Beach Leftover Lifesavers!

Thanksgiving might be over, but the leftovers are still hangin’ ten in your fridge. Here’s how to keep things tasty and safe, CB-style:

Cool It, Beachside:
Get those leftovers into the fridge within 2 hours, no sunbathing on the counter.

Reheat ’Til It’s Surf-Steamy:
Warm everything to 165°F. If it’s not giving “hot sand on a July afternoon,” keep heating.

Leftover Glow-Ups:
Turn turkey into beach-day quesadillas, stuffing into pier-side waffles, or mashed potatoes into salty-air snack patties.

Shallow Like Low Tide:
Store food in shallow containers so it cools quick — no deep-sea fridge monsters.

If It’s Funky, Toss It:
If it smells like low tide… you know what to do.
