I would like to thank everyone who helped with the Macaroni Dinner last Friday night. It was a great success. We took in $2028 that night at the door $869 of that was in the tip jar! We have some money still coming in from the art auction and some online ticket purchases. We received several big donations before the dinner. One for $1,000 (which I do not have permission to say who), $250.00 from Davis Correctional Facility, $570.00 for Security State Bank and several additional donations. Looks like the total is going to be $3,620.00!!! It’s awesome because our vet bill is $3,000.00 this month! Thank you to the Barnard Memorial United Methodist Church for the use of their facility and to all the Methodist congregation for cooking macaroni dishes and desserts for us! What a great bunch of people! I will be placing an ad in the paper thanking everyone who helped and hopefully won’t miss anyone!

OBN seized approximately 6,000 plants and 2,600 pounds of processed marijuana. Mr. Woodward said the raid was part of an ongoing investigation that is expected to result in multiple arrests.
