Since 1978, individuals and groups in Sterling have cooperated to host one of the largest feasts in Kansas, the annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner.Several hundred volunteers under the direction of Carol Froese, will be preparing and serving the meal for an expected 700-800 diners. The meal will be served from 11 a.m until 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, at the Sterling College Cafeteria (located in the Student Union Building on campus).The menu will feature turkey and dressing, mashed and sweet potatoes, green beans, Freneh bread, relishes, pie and drinks. Guests who wish to do so may bring desserts, salads, or cash donations, but the organizers emphasize that the meal is free to all.Canned and other goods, including soaps, detergents, and paper products, for the area food banks are strongly encouraged.Mrs. Froese says, “We encourage people to come and bring out-of-town guests as well.
