A large crowd attended the community fund-raiser for Phil and Jan Smith Saturday evening at Burdick United Methodist Church fellowship hall.

The local church activity committee from the Methodist church, volunteers from Hebron Lutheran, and community volunteers planned the fund-raiser.

Table decorations of flower arrangements in red, white, pink, and mauve with ribbon streamers, heart confetti, and bowls of candy were created by Sally Barlow. Pastor Rick Branson and his wife, Khrista handled the selling of the items for the auction and were assisted by local auctioneer, Byron Bina, son of Bob and Jeanette Bina of Lincolnville. Connie Johnson served as clerk for the auction.

There was a large variety of items donated for the valentine auction following the supper, including flowers, candy, decorated cookies, cupcakes, cheesecakes, pies, sweet rolls, and lots of other baked goods. Other unusual items auctioned off included afghans, K-State and KU items, hay and alfalfa bales, welding or construction labor, a massage, jewelry, gift boxes, movie night and an ice cream sundae party.
