Forever remembered Tickets still available for youth show
in Seguin
drive through dinner fundraiser
By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – Today is the day to be counted by the caterer for this weekend’s Curbside Gala being hosted by the Guadalupe County Youth Show. The drive through dinner fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday in the Seguin Cattle Company parking lot. Like others, the youth show committee this year was forced to come up with a new plan to help raise funds for its 2021 Guadalupe County Youth Livestock and Homemakers Show. Debra Reiley, one of the coordinators for the event, says the group is looking to sell as many tickets that it can for this Saturday. She says to ensure enough food, those tickets should be purchased by the end of today.
The Seguin Fire/EMS Department gathered Friday morning in memory of those who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks on America. See story on page 2.

“We have decided to adapt to the times, and we are going to proceed with fundraising for our scholarships, for benefiting the participants and we are going to have a drive thru dinner. We are still going to have the catered meal by David Goerke. Your ticket will get you a full meal plus it enters you in a drawing for some fabulous prizes that have been donated by some wonderful
sponsors,” said Reiley.
Reiley says although the concept of the fundraiser has changed, the group will still be pushing to reach its $20,000 goal. She says that is how much it normally takes to cover the three day show and sale process. “We need your support still even though we are not having the big dinner, dance, live auction, silent auction because this money that we raise actually helps put on the event that happens in January. We have facilities to pay for. We have computer software programs to pay for just normal office, everyday supplies, mail outs but then the money also goes away at the end of the year to our 2021 seniors who can apply for our scholarship. Last year, we gave away seven scholarships. We never know exactly how many we are going to give away. It depends on how many apply and how much money is in the bank to go. So, it’s really important that the community still supports this event even though it’s going to look a little different through a drive thru kind of event,” said Reiley. See TICKETS, page 3
