Chair sale will highlight benefit to help hungry children

People will bew able to bid on some finely decorated chairs, eat some Indian tacos and play some games Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Havre Eagles Club.

Northern Montana Child Development Center and District 4 HRDC will sponsor the event to help pay for food for children in tough economic conditions.

Jennifer Graham of the development center said some of the money will be used to buy healthy snack packs for kids, while some will be spent on food baskets for students.

"Food stamps often aren't enough," she said.

The fundraiser, A Seat at the Table, will start at 5 p.m. with the Indian tacos, she said. The auction will be held later. There will be games - such as heads or tails and musical chairs - throughout the evening.

Door prizes will be given out, she said.

The highlight of the evening is always the sale of the chairs, and this year there are some exceptionally good chairs, she said.

One, for instance, is a bar stool set.

All the chairs were prepared by volunteers in the community, she said.
