Friends of the Civic Center announce a stew & chili supper to
benefit the Delta County Civic Center. The date is Saturday,

8 p.m. The goal of this event is to raise money to purchase
new tables for the civic center. The tables currently in use are
showing their age, and many are beyond repair.
The Delta County Civic Center is a great facility that can be
rented for a host of events - from family reunions to class
reunions! The gymnasium, where the stew & chili supper will
be served, comfortably seats 200 +. The smaller dining room
is ideal for smaller group meetings.
Lots of area stew and chili masters will be serving their award-
winning recipes for the pleasure of those attending this event.
Tickets are only $5.00! (Quarts to go are $10.) Have your fill
of chili or stew, crackers, and a beverage - and complete your
meal with a homemade dessert. What a bargain!
Enjoy good food, good company, and support a good cause
- all in one swoop! Edwin Slough, the ticket master of Delta

break, and that money will be used to buy
signs for the elderly or any place that cannot
afford a sign."
