After a full day in the kitchen, local Rotarians came together to host the annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner at Veterans Memorial Park on Monday night. “We started at 8:30,” said Christie Moore, public relations chair of the Rotary Club of Dawson County. “We cooked everything except the turkey… the ham we bought was already cooked. Everything else was cooked by Rotarians at the College and Career Academy.” The Rotary Club of Dawson County hosts the annual community dinner as a way to give back to the people of Dawson County. After the event gained immense popularity last year, with Rotarians serving more than 450 plates of traditional Thanksgiving trimmings, organizers prepared for a big crowd for the Nov. 25 event.
