The 31st Annual Mayors’ Thanksgiving Dinner later this month will feature food and comedy.

The dinner helps raise awareness of hunger in the community and proceeds benefit the Second Harvest Community Food Bank.

St. Joseph Mayor Bill Falkner, along with former mayors (listed in term order) Glenda Kelly, Larry R. Stobbs, David J. Jones and Ken Shearin, will host the annual dinner.

Mayor Falkner said this year’s entertainment will be provided by comedian Devin Henderson.

“We’ve had so much going on that we felt we needed some comic relief to start the holiday season off,” Falkner said. “This is always a fun event to do. It raises money for our food bank, Second Harvest, and it also recognizes some businesses and individuals that have made a difference in our community over the last year.” 

Doors open for the dinner at 4 p.m. and dinner begins at 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 18, at the Civic Arena. Tickets are $30 per person, $50 per couple or $250 for a table of eight. The deadline for reservations is Friday, November 10.
