Despite about 4″ of snow and temperatures that were still in single digits when serving began, Chadron’s annual Caring and Sharing Community Christmas Dinner fed nearly 200 people.

Dinner coordinator Linda Yuradi says 95 people came together to eat at the Assumption Arena while another 97 turkey dinners delivered around the community to those unable to come in.

Yuradi says the participation was wonderful, with those dining together enjoying the chance to share part of the day with others and those receiving meals thankful to be remembered.

She gives credit for the successful meal to the volunteers who helped prepare, serve, deliver, and clean up after the meal and to those in the community who donated either cash or food items for the meal.
