4-H Community Dinner Adds Canned Food Drive
The 39th annual 4-H Community Dinner and Cake Auction will be held at the Motherlode Fairgrounds this Saturday from 4 to 7pm.
Ron Hamilton, 4-H Council President, and his son Danny Hamilton, were both Friday’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”.
The dinner will include bar-b-que tri-tip, a baked potato, salad, roll and dessert.
Creative baked cakes will be on display until 5:30 p.m., when the auction begins.
$12 adult tickets will be made available at the door. The price is $8 for children under the age of twelve and for senior citizens.
New this year is a community service project, chaired by fifteen year old Danny Hamilton, that will help Meals-On-Wheels during severe or inclement weather.
Danny (and others) will be assembling “Angel Boxes” that will contain non-perishable food for two people for three days. The Angel Boxes will be distributed to current Meals-On-Wheels customers and are to be used when bad weather prohibits regular delivery.
