Centro in Des Moines will be providing the meals for the Big E Dinner this year, due to extensive renovations happening at Chuck’s Restaurant.

This year’s event, scheduled for Monday, October 12^th with pickup from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m., is sponsored by the EHS Class of 1988. Proceeds from the event will go towards their class reunion scholarship fund.

In order to fill the orders, all orders and ticket purchases must be made by Friday, October 9^th at 6 p.m. Prepayment is required for the meals.
