A spaghetti supper from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. takes place the evening of the contest.
The cost is $7 for a spaghetti dinner with breadsticks, salad, dessert (the contest pies), and a beverage.
Persons attending may bid on the pies in the silent auction beginning at 4:30 p.m. Each pie has an $8 opening bid. All proceeds will benefit the Maple Crest Activities Program.
Icon viewers can join the “Race to Rudolph,” a Bluffton Hospital walking challenge.

Participants will keep a daily log of steps and record those steps on a card provided to them.
Once those steps are completed, the participant will submit the walking log for a chance to win some prizes.
Winners will be selected randomly from those completing the challenge.
