Thanksgiving Disasters

Contest starts Friday morningWhat was the worst Thanksgiving meal you ever fixed for family and friends? We’ve all had them, where everything you planned just fell apart on that one day of the year where the entire day seems to be built around "The Meal of the Day."

Now your meal disaster story can win you $100 from Vallerga’s Markets in Napa. All you have to do is be willing to tell us your story.

Register.com staff is going to select the best stories and republish them online and in print for you, the readers, to decide who the winner is.

We will open an online poll starting the day before Thanksgiving (Wednesday, Nov. 25) and voting will continue through Sunday, Nov. 30. We will announce the winner online and in the print Food section on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Although the winner receives $100 to Vallerga's, a Napa market, you don't have to live here to play or to win. If you live out of the area, please consider donating your winnings to the local food bank or Meals on Wheels.

Get ready, get started thinking, the contest kicks off Friday morning! Deadline for submissions will be Nov. 22, the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
