Decorah Rotarians (L-R) J.T. Vogel, Paul Pasche, and Jim Morrow manning the pork chop grilling "cage" at the County Fair
The Decorah Rotary Club hosted its fourth annual Pork Chop Fundraiser at both the 2025 Winneshiek County Fair on July 8-12 and again during Decorah's 2025 Nordic Fest on July 24-26. Over 700 pork chops were sold on the final day of Nordic Fest alone and by 4:00 pm, every single available chop had been sold to a happy customer. As in the past, the two combined events excelled at quantities served, funds raised, good fellowship shared, and satisfied customers. The club extends its heartfelt thanks to the club leaders, in particular Brecka Putnam and Shannon Duncan, who planned, coordinated, organized, and purchased; along with the multitude of Rotary volunteers manning the booths and the generous support of close friends and partner organization volunteers assisting with the grilling, providing cooler space, etc. There are way too many names to enumerate them all but our club thanks each and every one!
