Pettis County MU Extension Dinner Draws Over 300

Attendance was good and so was the weather Saturday for Pettis County MU Extension’s 14th annual dinner and auction, held at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 3700 West Broadway.

David Dick, a member of the Pettis County University Extension Council, said that this is a major fund-raiser fore Extension, including a dinner, silent auction and live auction.

The funds raised “supplements the program, whether it’s 4-H or Master Gardner,” Dick said. “There’s lots of programs because there’s lots of different interests.”

Dick added that there was not necessarily a monetary goal for the event, but “if we see a need, we can fund the need,” he explained.

Over 300 people came through the food line Saturday afternoon.

“We sure enjoy seeing the folks. We’ve had a lot of success doing this. It’s a little old fashioned, and little simple, but it’s fun,” Dick concluded.

Johnson Auction Service was in charge of the live auction.
