The annual 4-H Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser was taking
place at the Lincoln Knights of Columbus. The meal was provided by
Nuthatch Hill BBQ, and the Luckhart girls were in charge of serving
up hot plates of spaghetti and meat sauce with large, soft
breadsticks.
The day included several fundraising efforts
including the traditional silent auction. Items were set up in
tables in the middle of the hall and also lined the exterior wall of
the room. There were plenty of items to bid on, all donated by local
businesses as well as 4-H clubs and individuals.
Returning again this year was the pick a number and
make a donation boards with cards decorated by various 4-H members.
There were 100 cards with a dollar amount of $1 thru $100. Guests
could pull a card off the board and make a donation to 4-H according
to the number on the card.

New this year was a live dessert auction. Local businesses,
bakeries, and some of Logan County’s excellent home cooks, donated
items that were then auctioned off by Reagan Tibbs of the Logan
County Extension Office with Sherri Bishop, 4-H overseer for the
extension acting as his helper.
Pies, cakes, and French Macaroons were among the
first items auctioned off starting shorting after noon. Right away,
prices were going into the three-digit figures and the sweet treats.
Also taking place throughout the day was the
recognition of the local clubs and their individual members. The
clubs were introduced and then its membership. As the names were
called the members lined up for a club photo, then the individuals
were called onto the stage and recognized with plaques and
certificates for their various achievements throughout this past
year in 4-H.
The event, which is a free will donation only, was well attended
with the tables filling early and remaining pretty full throughout
the three hour period of the event.
The annual 4-H dinner is set close to valentines day, and is an
excellent time for friends and family to literally break bread
together while supporting a very worthy cause.
