JAMBOREE DAYS CHICKEN DINNER
The Bethel Chicken Dinner,
held at the New Auburn Jamboree Days on
Sunday July 29th, was once again a huge success.
Approximately 290 people were served.
Billy’s Grill & Catering did a wonderful job in providing the chicken, potato salad, beans and rolls. The total amount taken in from sales was $2,224. The total profit was $1,164 after paying the expenses for providing the food. A huge thank you to all who volunteered. Without your hard work and dedication, this would not be possible.
