 The day was marked by local leaders as a great success, raising
funds through a “donation only” meal, and a large silent auction to
benefit Logan County 4-Hers, Clubs, and 4-H activities.
The donation only meal makes the event an affordable activity for
families. No one questions the amount placed in the large container
at the front door, so even families on a tight budget can come out,
enjoy a good meal and a great time together as a family.
The event is also a great place for friends to gather, enjoy a meal,
and spent time chatting around the table over a delicious dessert.
In addition to the meal, a large silent auction was set up in the
center of the room. Items from the auction were donated by
supporters of 4-H and included some remarkable offerings.
The day is also a day of recognition for 4-H members and clubs.
Throughout the day, from time to time, members would be called to
the stage area where they were recognized.
The following information has been provided by Patty Huffer, Logan
County Extension:
