A Queens community continues a Thanksgiving Day tradition by celebrating one of their long time neighbors.

Ethel Plimack of Sunnyside will turn107 years old Tuesday. 

And like they have done so for the last five years, hundreds of her neighbors and other community members gathered on her sidewalk to sing her "Happy Birthday."

"Ethel embodies what is great about this community, this event is really about the spirit of who we are," said Councilmember Jimmy Van Bramer.

Plimack has lived on 46th street for more than 70 years. 

She is known for her work as a community activist.
