Kane County 4-H hosting pork chop dinner fundraiser

The Kane County 4-H Foundation will have a pork chop dinner fundraiser from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 7. 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, baked beans, roll, cookies and drink. The dinner will be prepared by the Kendall County Pork Producers 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 available through Friday, Feb. 24 from 4-H members and clubs, 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.

Proceeds from the dinner and auctions will benefit Kane County Extension programs including; 4H, Master Gardeners, school enrichment, food and nutrition program, and the home and community education association.

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.
