KEUTERVILLE -- St. Mary's Holy Cross Parish will host an old-fashioned dinner at the Keuterville Hall set for Sunday, Feb. 12.
The meal will be served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with to-go orders available. The roast beef, ham and mashed potatoes dinners are completed with salad, homemade rolls and desserts.
The meal costs $7 for adults, $3 for grades 1-6, while kindergarten and younger eat free. Bingo is on the stage all day, and the raffle drawing for 27 prizes begins at 4 p.m. Need not be present to win.
This year marks the 35th year Keuterville has hosted a parish dinner and raffle. The beginnings in 1978 were humbling with blown fuses requiring the placement of electric stoves in a nearby garage for the 300 pounds of mashed potatoes. Cooks, servers and dishwashers endured the sweltering heat of a wood cook stove as they crammed together in a 17' by 28' basement kitchen to serve more than 700 people and 97 dozen rolls were made by one woman, and three fruit pies were donated by every household.
What started as a fund-raiser became a community builder that left a deep sense of pride in each other.
Since that time improvements have been made. The kitchen has been replaced, parishes have consolidated and new friends have replaced old, but the commitment to serving the best the community has to offer is still in place.
