Over $50,000 raised for community betterment submitted With the sights of school buses on the road, combines in the field, and beautiful yellow and orange scenery all around us, we know summer has passed and fall is in full swing. Also in full swing is the organizing of the annual Fowl Supper in Pipestone. Every year this small community swells to over 600+ people who come to take in a traditional fall meal of turkey and ham with all the trimmings. In checking records back to the late 90s, the crowds have averaged 625 people with the highest attendance being 721 meals served within 2 1/2 hours. Pretty impressive for a small community of approximately 200 people. The supper last year consisted of 325 lbs. turkey, 90 lbs. ham, 220 lbs. potatoes, 50 lbs. cabbage, 100 lbs. turnips, and let us not forget the desserts - 47 pies and 28 pans of refrigerated dessert. Now these are a variety of stats about the supper but the most noteworthy is the fact that since the late 90s, the Fowl Supper has contributed over $50,000 back to community betterment. Some funds have been designated to organizations such as the Pipestone Drop Inn, Pipestone Cemetery, Pipestone Skating Rink, and the Pipestone Rec Club. The majority of our funds have gone towards the Pipestone Community Hall via the Pipestone Lions Club for such projects as the bathroom updates, new tiles for the floor, new tables, and chairs, new kitchen cabinets and the commercial dishwasher. The Hall is widely used for all social

We are a nonprofit organization with no affiliation of any religious nature . . . just a whole community coming together for an afternoon of fellowship, a supper out and at the same time, raising money which comes back to benefit our community! Of course the Committee is very grateful for the cooperation of everyone in the community who donates food towards the supper and their time to make the evening flow effortlessly. For some, it’s making phone calls or prepping coleslaw or vegetables prior to the supper; for others it’s volunteering to fill the nearly 100 shifts needed that day which is the core to the success of the supper.

Living Well and Finding Balance

2015

What a great example of when everyone pulls together to do a little, you can gain a lot! As cell phones have become part of today’s culture and there is no need for a home phone line, contacting everyone in the area has become more of a challenge. However, if you are a Pipestone or area resident who hasn’t been contacted and would be willing to donate food or an hour or so of your time, we welcome you to call Sharon Zarn at 204-854-2904 and leave a message. Whatever your contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. This year’s supper will be held on Sunday, October 18, at the Hall between 4:00 and 6:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing many familiar faces and hopefully some new ones!
