You blew us away, Bago! 🧡 What a great night celebrating 30 years of Winnebago FEE! More than 200 people packed The Standard for our Draw Down Raffle Dinner. And we raised over $14,000! It was an evening filled with great drinks, great food, fun company, and a whole lot of winning.

From homemade cheesecake and pies to a Winnebago Girls Basketball experience, a shuffleboard table, sunset booze cruise, bourbon (and more bourbon!), plus plenty of cash winners, every moment supported the students of Winnebago School District #323.

Huge thanks to every sponsor, attendee, board and committee member (past and present), the Standard, and a very special thank you to Sally Huggins for starting this tradition 30 years ago! We thank you for your hard work and dedication to FEE!

Thank you again for a fun night out supporting our Winnebago students! 👏
