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.
