[February 17, 2020]   LINCOLN - Just ahead of Valentine’s Day, the Logan County 4-H Foundation hosted its annual Spaghetti lunch on Sunday, February 9th at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Lincoln.



Once again this year the food was excellent, and a large number of guests turned out to enjoy a wonderful meal topped off with so many desserts it was impossible to choose which one to take first.

 



Meals were provided on a dine-in basis or for carry-out, and all for a donation. The annual dinner is offered for donation only making it very affordable for large families on a tight budget to get out and enjoy a day when someone else does all the cooking.



Along with the meal of salad, spaghetti and meat sauce, bread and dessert, there was also a large silent auction going on at the dinner. Guests had the opportunity to view and bid on a wide array of items from living shrubs and trees, to blankets, pillows, buckets of tools, amazing gift baskets and much more. All the items provided for the auction were donated either by individual clubs or from local businesses in Logan County.

Another important part of the day is the recognition program for accomplishments of local 4-H members over the past year.

Patty Huffer with the Logan County 4-H Foundation and Logan County Extension provided the following information about awards given out on Sunday. Photos of the award winners are also featured in today’s edition of Lincoln Daily News.
