Annual Fund-raiser for JCH&L Auxiliary

FAIRBURY – Tickets are on sale now for the Spring Salad Festival of the Jefferson Community Health & Life Auxiliary, set for Thursday, May 9, at the Fairbury Elks Lodge. The Salad Festival is a fund-raiser for the JCH&L Auxiliary which has been a community event since 1965, except for a break in 2020-2022 because of COVID precautions. Last year’s event raised more than $2,000 for the Auxiliary.

Tickets are now available at JCH&L, Fairbury Chamber of Commerce, Jefferson County Extension office, American National Bank, Heartland Bank and Union Bank.

The salad festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tickets are $9 in advance, or $10 at the door.

The Spring Salad Festival is the main fund-raising event of the auxiliary. The auxiliary provides scholarships to students entering medical fields, provides Christmas gifts for residents of the Gardenside long-term care at Jefferson Community Health & Life, and provides volunteer help at JCH&L in a variety of projects.

Anyone interested in more information about the auxiliary or the salad festival should contact Lana Likens at (402) 729-6855.
