HAMPTON

Former NFL player Elton Brown is among the hosts of a free Thanksgiving meal for the public in Hampton.

This is the second consecutive year Brown has participated in the event in his hometown. It starts with music and raffles at 10:30 a.m., with turkey and all the trimmings served from noon until 3 p.m.

Brown, a former Virginia star, played in the Super Bowl earlier this year with the Arizona Cardinals. He played this fall with the New York Sentinels of the new United Football League.

Brown says the Thanksgiving meal is his way of giving back to his community.
