Aw shucks! Corn and sausage rake in cash Published July 19, 2007 By Senior Airman Micah Garbarino Public Affairs DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga., -- A warm, relaxing day filled with hot grills, brauts, roasted corn and sweet tea is about the best way you could spend a summer afternoon, right? How about all that combined with raising money for a good cause, now that's time -- and money -- well spent. The annual Corn and Sausage Roast was held at the Lakeside Pavilion July 18. More than 400 ears of roasted corn and piles of perfectly cooked sausage were served to a hungry crowd that came to support the event, raising more than $2,000 for Family Support's emergency funds. The event was organized by the Dobbins Square and Compass Club with help from the Family Support Center, the Dobbins Chief's Group and the thrift shop as well as volunteers from other organizations across the base. More than $650 was raised from the hand made quilts and other items that were raffled off during the cookout. Cooking for the lunchtime event began at 7 a.m. and is a long, labor intensive process. But organizers say it's rewarding and plans are already underway for a repeat next year.
