District 4 HRDC Executive Director Carilla French holds up a card Saturday during one of the games at the fundraiser, A Seat at the Table. Anyone who had the card she was holding received a door prize.
The Eagles Club was jam packed Saturday night.
Lines of chairs, decorated by volunteers, sat on display for bidders before being auctioned off.
Head Start students proudly touted the chairs they had made
People dined on Indian tacos.
As the auction began, people were involved in aggressive bidding for the chairs, some items going for as much as $300. The event was A Seat at the Table, a gathering designed to raise funds for the Northern Montana Child Development Center.
The annual event seems to be growing every year, organizers said.
"It went soooo well," said Jennifer Graham, who chaired the event.
In all, $4,422 was taken in, she said.
The money will go for special food baskets for families of children who need the help.
And special fresh fruits and vegetables will be prepared for children to have when pre-school programs take a long weekend.
