2026 Decorah Rotary Pork Chop Fundraiser

 

The Decorah Rotary Club hosted its fourth annual Pork Chop Fundraiser at both the 2026 Winneshiek County Fair on July 14-18 and again during Decorah's 2026 Nordic Fest on July 23-25. As in the past, the two combined events excelled at quantities served, funds raised, good fellowship shared, and satisfied customers. The club extends its thanks to event organizers Brecka Putnam and Shannon Duncan who conducted the planning, coordination, acquisition of supplies, and generally ensured everything worked like a well oiled machine. We thank Alan Lerstrom for his leadership and energy in establishing Rotary's "Toe Truck" mobility service during Nordic Fest. We also extend our gratitude to Hy-Vee Grocery and the meat market staff for their tireless efforts in keeping us supplied as well as the multitude of Rotary volunteers manning the booths and running errands and the generous support of all of our close friends, spouses, and partner organization volunteers assisting with the equipment preparation and repair, grilling, sales, promotion, currency handling, cooler space, etc. The list of names needing thanks is far too long to enumerate here but we know our fundraising efforts would not be possible without the valuable help of these generous folk and we sincerely thank each and every person for their support.
