Submitted by University of Illinois Extension

The Kane County 4-H Foundation will have a pork chop dinner fundraiser 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 14. The dinner will be held in the new exhibit hall at the Kane County Fairgrounds on Randall Road in St. Charles. You have your choice of a two-chop dinner for $12, a one-chop dinner for $10, or a porkburger dinner for $8. All dinners include applesauce, coleslaw, baked beans, roll, cookies and drink, soda sold separately. The dinner will be prepared by the Elburn Lions Club and served by Kane County 4-H’ers and Extension volunteers.

Throughout the evening, there will be a silent auction of baskets donated by Kane County 4-H clubs and area supporters. At 7 p.m., there will be a live auction. Tickets for the dinner are still available at the University of Illinois Extension Office at 535 S. Randall Road, or by calling Jeff at (630) 466-1626 or Joe at (630) 557-2517. A limited number of tickets will be available for purchase at the door for an additional $1 per meal.

Proceeds from the dinner and auctions will benefit University of Illinois Extension programs in Kane County including: 4H Youth Development, Health and Wellness Programs, Home and Community Education Association, and Master Gardeners. As government funding becomes less available, local support through fundraisers such as this is vital to maintain the quality of extension programs offered to the entire county.
