Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — The annual Potato Bar and Silent Auction was held March 9, 2013, at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Jamestown.  President Jennifer Barnard reminds residents that it is the biggest event of the year for the Humane Society.

A large crowd filled the KC Hall, with 90 guests participating in the silent auction.  Potatos with chili, cheese, sour cream, and salsa were served.  A wide selection of desserts and cookies were donated, and were quickly consumed.  Front page photo of Ryder by Chris Sheppard.
