On behalf of the board, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible community. This event would not have been possible without your overwhelming support.

We want to give a special shout-out to everyone who made this day a success:

Our Volunteers: Thank you for your hard work, long hours, and dedication to keeping everything running smoothly.

Our Patrons: Thank you to everyone who bought a fish plate. We hope you enjoyed your meal!

Our Donors & Sponsors: Your generous donations and sponsorships are greatly appreciated and directly support our mission.

An Apology to Our Community
We had a massive turnout this year—so big, in fact, that we officially sold out in 2 hours! Because of the unprecedented crowd, we deeply apologize to those who stood patiently in line but had to be turned away once the food ran out. We hate that we couldn't serve everyone.

Looking Ahead to Next Year
We have definitely learned from this experience. Next year, we will be preparing much more food to accommodate everyone—though, truthfully, we hope your amazing enthusiasm causes us to run out all over again!

Thank you again for standing with us and supporting the Carlisle County Museum and Library. See you next year!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who came out to the chicken dinner. Your donations are what make it possible for us to look to the future. The proceeds from last night will go toward operating expenses.

Update on our progress: The flooring has been ordered, and the paint has been purchased! We are one step closer to opening our doors, and we can't wait to show you the final look. We hope to open as soon as we get paint on the walls and new flooring in 2 rooms!
