Date; November 1, 2017 Seagrave Turkey Dinner.

Since the 1930s and continuing to this day, Seagrave United Church has hosted their annual Turkey Dinner. This year had a great turnout with over 350 people for dinner and 140 take-outs. During the day, the kitchen was bustling with over 60 volunteers preparing a hearty dinner of 576 lbs. of roast turkey, 250 lbs. of mashed potatoes, 16 bags of peas, turnip, buns and over 85 homemade pies, and all of the trimmings. It was a great opportunity for both residents and parishioners to meet new faces, catch up with old friends, and eat lots and lots of turkey. The proceeds will support the Seagrave United Church. Be sure to watch the snapped calendar on the first Wednesday in November next year for the annual Seagrave United Church Turkey Dinner.

Thank you for your support so we can give back to the community Freely.
