"I shot the turkey but I did not shoot the deputy!" this guy is handing a murdered bird over to a couple in order to help the celebrate the american Thanksgiving holiday. I suppose this is back in the day when you would take a fresh one home and then pluck it yourself.
So I'm not sure why he is making a fan. Maybe to show off to his friends down the hill. "Hey look I made an awesome new fan!!" But his nice wife is bringing him some tea. I sure hope he says thank you!
