One of the owners of a local pub in Huntley, Ill., said the village's annual Turkey Testicle Festival is a thrilling time for all involved.

Parkside Pub co-owner Mark McDonald, whose locale hosted this week's annual event, said that the holiday celebration has been a popular and exciting activity for locals for the last 25 years, the Arlington Heights (Ill.) Daily Herald reported Thursday.
"It's the best party in Huntley -- ever!" McDonald said of Wednesday's celebration.
The event includes a trivia contest on turkey-related information and of course includes an abundance of turkey testicles for festival veterans and first-timers to sink their teeth into.
Last year's event even managed to raise $30,000 for local charities, the Herald said.
When asked why his pub would go through 1,200 pounds of anatomical parts this year, McDonald offered a simple and slightly disturbing answer.
