The meal was cooked at Boom’s, which owner Nick Dion generously supplied for the event. Various community members met at Boom’s to prepare the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, stuffing and coffee. After everything was cooked it was then loaded up and taken to the Wagner Community School. Many generous community members donated their time and talents by cooking, serving, bringing desserts, etc. to make this event happen smoothly. Leaders of this year’s Thanksgiving dinner were Margaret Doom and Scott Alderink. They along with Booms and WCS were instrumental in making this event such a success. Volunteers served more community members than last year, with an estimate of more than 100 people served. There was also bread, buns and pastries provided by Panera Bread and Hyvee for both the dinner and for attendees to take home. Volunteers also made sure that the men and women who were on duty and not able to celebrate with their families or attend the event were able to have a nice Thanksgiving meal. A new addition to this year’s meal was Wagner’s Young Adult Life Group had gathered blankets, hats, coats and gloves to be distributed to anyone in need at the event.
