Dinner

Dinner will be served through a serving line. Claim a seat at one of the dinner tables and enter the serving line near the kitchen. There will be plenty of great food from Pat Gallichio and Antone Giannone, so don’t worry. The serving line may start before all the silent auction tables close, so you can still bid on items and eat later.

Desserts

The Desserts are on display at the Drink Booth, so check out all the wonderful goodies and desserts. Some of the desserts will be silent auctioned and some desserts will be live auctioned just after dinner. All desserts can be taken home or shared at your table. 4-H will provide you with extra plates and silverware at the dinner tables. We also, have cookies that sell for $5.00 a tray.
