Spagetti Feed

What:

 Spaghetti feed fundraiser set for Feb. 5

      Whether or not you plan to participate in the Feb. 6 Trinidad to Clam Beach Run and Walk, the Trinidad School 5th/6th grade’s annual spaghetti feed and raffle is the place to be the night before.

      Track coaches have long maintained that loading up on carbohydrates prior to a big run is an excellent idea, but the school’s spaghetti event also offers a plethora of prizes to win and a delicious dinner surrounded by schoolmates and friends.  Not to mention that your kitchen stays clean and the proceeds go to a good cause.

      This major fundraising event not only kicks off run festivities, but also helps send teacher Rebecca Leuck’s class of 30 students on a four-day springtime adventure to the Mendocino Woodlands Outdoor School.  There, the students study the redwood forest and stream ecology, as well as paying a visit to area tide pools.  The class, along with students from several other schools, will also participate in a physical challenge course with the aim of teaching the youngsters to work together.  Instruction continues at mealtime as students learn to take only what they can eat to avoid waste.

      And speaking of eating, the spaghetti feed, coinciding with the Greater Trinidad Chamber of Commerce’s Trinidad to Clam Beach Run and Walk for more than 20 years, features homemade meat or vegetarian sauce, hot French bread, salad made from locally grown fresh greens and a choice of coffee, tea or milk.  Students from Leuck’s class will also be on hand to serve homemade desserts and act as the waiters and waitresses for the ever-popular event.

      A Dutch raffle featuring prizes ranging from passes to Mt. Shasta Ski Park to gift certificates for area businesses will be held throughout the evening.  Raffle tickets are just 25 cents each.

      Those with light appetites pay just $3 for a mini meal. But if you really need to load up on those energy-boosting carbs, opt for a $6 medium meal or the $7 mega plate.  Tickets can be purchased at the door or by calling 677-3631.

      The Feb. 5 dinner is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Trinidad School gymnasium, 300 Trinity St., Trinidad.
