The dinner theater will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Shawnee Community College near Ullin.

Ham and beans, cornbread, slaw, fried potatoes, fried apples and desserts will be served at 5:30 p.m.  A donation of $10 per adult and $5 per youth under 10 is suggested.  

There will be entertainment by the K &  I Drifters, with cake walks, raffle prizes and a live auction to complement the evening.  

All proceeds will go to the Pulaski-Alexander IAHCE scholarship program, which is awarded to graduating seniors from Century and Meridian schools.
