The 4th of July Committee held their annual fundraising dinner, auction, and dance, February 2, 2008 at the Eagles Club. The weather was perfect for the large crowd that attended. After enjoying a pork loin dinner, all donated items went on the auction block. Thanks to Ken Kline for handling the auctioneer duties. The committee would like to thank all those who donated items for the auction and also to all those who purchased them. We are looking forward to a fun filled three days of celebration in July. Funds from the auction help to defray the expenses of fireworks and entertainment.
