The second annual Country Cracker Feast, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Plant City Day Break, was at the home of George and Cassandra Banning. Besides the meal, there was also entertainment by the Dreadful Snakes, an auction and more.
The money will go to such charities as Rotary Camp Florida, a Brandon camp for physically and mentally challenged youth; S4TL, a seminar for incoming high school seniors; college scholarships for high school seniors; and dictionaries for area fourth-graders.
The country cracker menu featured gator, fish, gumbo, jambalaya and more. A silent and live auction featured a large variety of items from tickets to Universal Studios to photography sessions to racing memorabilia. The most popular items were a ride in state Rep. Rich Glorioso's airplane and the opportunity to have Mayor Dan Raulerson mow the winning bidder's lawn.
During the event, Unity in the Community took the opportunity to present a $30,000 donation to the United Food Bank of Plant City.
Car dealer Steve Hurley, president of Unity in the Community board of directors, presented the check to Carole Wright, president of the food bank.
The check was the largest donation in the history of the food bank.
