This event includes music and door prizes in addition to great food and good company.

The cost of the meal is a donation with all proceeds going to purchase warm winter gear, including coats, hats, gloves and shoes for children in the White River Valley School District who are in need of these items.

Fire Chief Kyle Steward says everyone is invited and donations both large and small are appreciated.

“It’s that time of year again. Get your money out and bring your appetite,” said Steward. “All the money donated will be used for kids in our local schools.”

Donations for the silent auction have been rolling in and are still being accepted.
