RONAN — Over the last 12 years, the Ronan Thanksgiving Dinner has grown and grown and grown, bringing people together for a time of friendship, food, music and fun. The twelfth annual Ronan Community Thanksgiving Dinner will be on Thursday, Nov. 26, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Ronan Community Center. Each year, the celebration draws several hundred residents, coming to share conversation, homemade pie and the chance to recognize the good that has come into their lives. Dinner is free but volunteers and cooks are needed.
Twelve years ago, local cook Marie Cowan, formally of the Ronan Café, kicked off the tradition recruiting volunteers, foods and participants. When it grew too large for the café, it was moved to the Ronan Community Center and is now sponsored by the Ronan Area Chamber of Commerce. Supplies and all the fixings come from donors throughout the area.
Festivities for the day include entertainment and a traditional turkey dinner. Volunteers are needed to help serve, cook, buss and clean up. Turkeys, pies, and rolls, are also needed. Call Brandy Chisholm at 406-250-8808 to donate food and call the Ronan Chamber at 406-676-8300 to volunteer some time.
It is a special day open to all community members. Come share all that is good in the world with friends and new acquaintances.
Everyone is welcome to attend and the dinner is free. Donations will be gladly accepted at the door or may be sent to Ronan Community Volunteers, PO Box 254 Ronan, MT 59864.
