For the last few decades, Fairbury's Elks Lodge has opened its doors on Thanksgiving Day to provide food for folks in need, and for those who might otherwise be alone on the holiday.

Media is meant to be a service industry, and the people behind Ol' Red and KGMT, the major radio stations in town, take that idea to heart - it's the 24th year that they have orchestrated this Thanksgiving meal to help serve their fellow Southeast Nebraska-area locals.

This year, the whole crew of volunteers served close to 400 meals in two hours, and raised more than 15 hundred dollars in donations.
