G.F.D. Annual Supper - February 2007

This year's event raised over $3,000 which will go toward the purchase of a new rescue vehicle. Thank you to all the businesses and individuals who provided items for the silent auction and food for the supper, and thank you to the community who supported our fund raiser by attending and participating.

The line up started early for the supper with over 300 people dinning in the Granum School gymnasium. This year's menu included roast beef, turkey, potatoes, carrots, turnips and various salads - dessert was a dish of ice cream.

There was a wide variety of donated items for the silent auction which raised $1,000.
