Beast Feast nets $7,200

In spite of cold, dreary weather Saturday, the seventh annual Beast Feist at Aulne Bible Church raised a record $7,200 for Marion County Food Bank. Last year’s event raised $5,800.

“We had a heck of a crowd,” Kevin Fruechting said. “We were very pleased. All the food was gone after the last person came through the line.” The crowd was estimated at more than 300.
