Congratulations to Amanda Calhoun for the best decorated cake, a Rice Krispy Pot o' Gold that celebrated St. Patrick's Day. The dessert that raised the most money ($175) was a lemon meringue pie made by Sue Eversull and bought by Rena Looney. Paul Jensen signed copies of his latest book All In a Day's Ride, The History of Horse Creek. Paul has donated the proceeds from several hundred copies to the Daniel Community Center. Thanks to all community members who helped by making salads, cornbread, delicious desserts, and extra chili. Many others contributed their time and energy in organizing, setting up and cleaning the schoolhouse.
