'Thanksgiving is problematic, but they still celebrate that."

"I don't know if this is true, but I've heard that Spur used to have cowboy-type decorations (hence the name) and then, to honour the Native Americans, they changed the decor to celebrate them instead of cowboys. again, not super sure this is true, and I'm too lazy to google it."
