Officials with ISU Extension in Adair County have announced that there will be a Raasch Family Benefit event on Friday, February 2nd from 5:00-8:00pm at the Sixteen Oaks (1308 Main Street) in Fontanelle. Trent and Terri Raasch (along with their four young sons) lost their home and possessions in a devastating fire on November 22nd. The benefit event will include a hot meal for a free will donation and a live auction with Tim Baier and the Baier Auction crew.

If you would like to donate auction or dessert item, please contact Lisa Carstens at 641-745-7055. Auction items can be dropped off at Adair County ISU Extension, 154 Public Square (east side of town square), in Greenfield. Items must be dropped off by January 19th or contact Lisa for further arrangements. Extension officials say the family has donated countless hours to help with various organizations and causes in Adair County, and were in the process of starting a new bakery/café business in Fontanelle.

All proceeds from the benefit go to help the family get back on their feet.

The Planning Committee: Lisa Carstens, Dianna Goetz, Kara Starr, Deena Wells, and Tiffany Johnson. We thank you for your support!
