Community invited to Douglas County 4-H Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction

Please join Douglas County 4-H at the annual Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction event on February 5, 2010 in Kirk Hall at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Dinner and the silent auction begin at 6:00 p.m. followed by a live auction.

This annual event is the main fundraising effort of the 4-H Exchange Group. Every two years, Douglas County trades trips with another state, giving members the opportunity to learn about diversity, history and culture.

In July 2008, Douglas County 4-H Exchange members hosted a group from Sussex County Delaware. Then in 2009, Douglas County 4-H traveled to Delaware to reconnect with new friends, tour Sussex County, and learn about a different state.

Not only do Douglas County 4-H members and staff prepare and serve spaghetti and Italian fixings, but many fine items are available for bidding at the silent auction. Items include original art work, gift baskets, gift cards, rounds of golf, a well-stocked kid’s table with items as low as 50 cents, and more.

To purchase tickets, call the Douglas County 4-H Office at 720-733-6940. Tickets remain at 2005 prices: $8.00 for adults and $5.00 for children.

For information on the Douglas County 4-H Exchange Program, or any 4-H program, go to the web site at www.douglascountyextension.org or call the office at the number above.
