First Choice Pregnancy Counseling Center held its annual Fish Fry and Auction fundraiser on Saturday, drawing a large crowd in spite of less-than-perfect weather. The event raises more than half of the center’s funding for the year, and it’s one of the largest and best-attended individual fundraisers for any not-for-profit in the county. The center, located on Madison Street, sees 50-60 clients each week, offering free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds, and free pregnancy and parenting education programs.

First Choice director Angela Rasnick speaks to the crowd.
The event is held at Walnut Ridge Farm on Whiteside Hill Road.
The silent auction had to be moved indoors due to the weather.
Other activities included face painting.

Fish, chicken and barbecue were served.
