The Foundation for Mitchell County is having a party on Wednesday, February 29, the traditional
Sadie Hawkins Day, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at The Pizza Shop in Spruce Pine. Participants can win prizes in the quizzo rounds (**and the grand prize will be a pendant made by Delphia Lamberson and valued at $850, to be given to the lucky winner of a drawing. The form for the drawing can be filled out ahead of time on line at www.CFWNC.org or at the party.)  Master of Ceremonies is Dr. Dan Barron, vice-chair of the Foundation for Mitchell County board.  Dry County Quizmaster Alan Gratz is preparing questions on the subjects of philanthropy and Sadie Hawkins. Anyone who wants to dress up for the event will be let in free (think Daisy Mae, Li’l Abner, Mammy and Pappy Yokum). In fact, admission is free for everyone, but there is a charge for food and beverages. A portion of the sales will be returned by The Pizza Shop as a donation to The Foundation for Mitchell County.  Please call The Pizza Shop at 765-4583 by February 26 to reserve a table or a space for the Sadie Hawkins Quizzo Party. You can organize a team of up to six participants or ask to be put with a group
to make up a team. Women wishing to propose to their man at the event should let the MC know in
advance. Foundation chairperson Susan Larson is available at 765-2652 to answer any questions about the event.
