If there is one fundraiser that never seems to go out of style, it is a spaghetti dinner. Boy Scout Troop 113 is leaning into that time-tested formula once again, marking its 43rd year of serving up pasta, purpose, and a plate.
The annual spaghetti dinner will be held Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Weirsdale Presbyterian Church, continuing a tradition that has quietly fed both the community and the troop for more than four decades. For an $8 donation, guests can expect a classic, no-frills meal in the spirit of small-town fundraisers that favor substance over spectacle.
There are no tiers, no add-ons, and no complicated pricing charts. Just spaghetti, a shared table, and the knowledge that the money goes toward supporting Boy Scout Troop 113 and its programs. The spaghetti dinner has endured because it works, because people come, and because traditions like this tend to stick when they are done right.
Troop 113’s spaghetti dinner runs for one afternoon only, but its impact stretches well beyond a single Sunday. For longtime supporters, it is a familiar date on the calendar. For newcomers, it is an easy way in. And for anyone wondering what to do for lunch on Feb. 1, the answer is already printed on the ticket.
