There were many volunteer cooks, and much was delivered to the Downieville Community Hall, including pies and other desserts from Sabrina’s at the Forks and Keri’s Bread Dough. We appreciate everyone who participated.

This event is for everyone to enjoy in remembrance of Miss Jody and her grandchildren lost in a house fire in Downieville. Ted and Nancy Heston began the event at their restaurant. When they retired, Miss Jody continued the tradition, and it continues today thanks to the Downieville Lion’s Club, Western Sierra Food Bank, and the local Churches.
