Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Halftime Show to Get Some East Texas Flare

(Lindale, Texas) - Dude, time is flying by. We are a month away from sitting down with our families and enjoying some turkey, dressing and football. For at least 40 years, the Dallas Cowboys have had the premiere game on Thanksgiving day.

That game has also been the official kickoff of the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign. That campaign is one of the biggest each year for donations to the Salvation Army. The Dallas Cowboys have brought in some big name talent to perform during halftime of the Thanksgiving game to celebrate that kickoff.

East Texas Flare for This Year's Dallas Cowboys Halftime Show

This year's Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime show will feature someone we're very familiar with, Lindale's own Miranda Lambert. Over the weekend, the Cowboys made the big announcement in a way that only Miranda could do, riding in on a bull. With Miranda's mix of country hits, it will be a great show.

This is also the 30th anniversary of the Dallas Cowboys teaming up with the Salvation Army. Every year, volunteers are setup outside of the mall, stand alone department stores and other locations ringing their bell. All we have to do is drop a few dollars or coins into their red kettle.
