OYSTER CARRY-OUT DINNER! February means fried oysters at CCFD! The event will be a little different in 2021, but the fried oysters and delicious meal will be the same! CCFD will be holding a one-night oyster carry-out dinner on Friday, February 5, 2021 in place of the standard family style dine-in meal that has been the hallmark of Cashtown fundraisers for decades.... Each dinner will be $25 and will consist of 6 fried oysters, roast turkey, mashed potatoes, filling, gravy, corn, green beans, and pepper slaw. Additional fried oysters can be ordered on your ticket at $3 each and you select your preferred pick-up time between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tickets must be ordered and paid for by January 16, 2021 to allow adequate time to order the proper amount of food and supplies. Leave a message at 717-334-3838 or message the Facebook page with questions and for tickets. We will make every attempt to respond as soon as possible but expect to receive a large volume of responses. Thanks in advance for your support and patience!
