It's that time of year again!

...the Fillmore Family Foundation's annual Prairie Fairies Fowl Supper!

A Loving Spoonful is an honoured beneficiary of this event. All proceeds from Prairie Fairies Fowl Supper Silent Auction will be donated to A Loving Spoonful!

The signature event of the Fillmore Family Foundation is the "Prairie Fairies Fowl Supper". The Fowl Supper is a prairie phenomenon brought to life through the involvement and vision of innumerable church groups and service clubs.

Each fall, in celebration of the harvest (bountiful or not) communities gather to share in a down-home Turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Practically every town, large and small, has at least one Fowl Supper. Weekends from September to November are spent driving to the Fowl Supper of the week in Legion Halls to the basements of the local church.

This tradition has spread beyond the prairies and in 1997, a group of prairie transplants organized their first Fowl Supper in the basement of Christ Church Cathedral.

Since 1997, there have been six Fowl Suppers organized by members of this group and

many volunteers, raising over $140,000 for local charities.

This group of individuals have recognized the importance of this event, and have now formed the Fillmore Family Foundation.
