2nd Annual Truck Stuff & More/SSRTA Spaghetti Dinner & CMATVA Dice Run


The 2nd Annual Truck Stuff & More/SSRTA Spaghetti Dinner & CMATVA Dice Run was held on Saturday, April 28, 2018. We had a little rain, some snow flurries and some sun and everyone seemed to be happy with no dust. A great crowd turned out to support the event. This is the first time for a spaghetti dinner that we had to use the overflow parking area along the trail towards Tarman Crossing. We knew once we saw the parking lot filled with atvs/utvs, we better prepare for a lot of people for the meal. Ruth Martin & Trilby Mayes did another fantastic job making the spaghetti dinner. Gary & Mary Halsnik led a crew putting together the salads. Beth Watson led a crew to sell clothing and handle the SSRT applications. Mark Watson, Lexie Vangor and Jim & Janet Banfill did a great job handling the dinner money, along with 50/50 and raffle tickets. A great bunch of helpers from the Centre County Probation Office served the meal and cleaned up during and after the event. Barry Kellerman provided some hoodies and a 3,000 lb atv wench for door prizes to go along with SSRTA clothing such as: t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats etc for door prizes too. Mary Jane Peters stopped by to pick up a few take out meals and we were able to get a picture of her with the beautiful quilt she made for the 2018 raffle. Retiring Representative Mike Hanna and his son Mike(running for his father's seat in the fall) stopped by to show support for the event and also discuss the Bloody Skillet to Renovo & Renovo to Whiskey Springs connections. They both feel the connections will be a positive thing not only for the local businesses but for the entire state. Henry Sorgen of CMATVA said in our discussions with both Hanna's - "We are on the same team" working together for the same goals and we appreciate their support for trail extensions. After such a large event and good time, a large cleanup follows and Thank you Beth & Mark Watson, Gary Halsnik for helping make this part of the event go so smooth. The SSRT wants to thank everyone for supporting the event along with the volunteers that did the work. A big thank you to Truck Stuff and More of Bellefonte for their support too! Great job Barry!!
