The Fort Lupton community did it again, jitterbugging, swinging, twisting, and boogie-woogie at the 16th annual Spaghetti Dinner to raise funds for school supplies for the Weld-Re-8 school district on August 30 at the Fort Lupton Recreation Center.

"I just can't believe how generous the community and what they are for all the schools. They brought in a speaker for this year with spaghetti funds from last year, as well as purchasing laptops for seniors when they go to college, and school supplies and backpacks for all schools," said Doug Gordon, Fort Lupton High School principal.

This year's theme is the 50s, with folks dressed up wearing 1950s fashion, a silent auction, and DJ Mark Franzen spinning the rock'n'roll. All the proceeds go directly to the schools.

For last year's spaghetti dinner, the community raised $3,700 purchasing backpacks, spiral notebooks, laptops, pens, crayons, pencils and markers, football and soccer balls, trombones, flues, Colorado book, clay playdoh, and rulers, including personal hygiene supplies.
