TORRINGTON – A little over an hour into the annual Goshen County Rooster Boosters fundraising banquet Saturday night, President Jasen Kaufman and other members were forced to hustle and add more tables and chairs to the Rendezvous Center at the Goshen County Fairgrounds – more people turned up than anticipated, and the event – which featured a catered dinner – was nearly at standing room-only status.
“It was definitely, by far, the biggest,” Kaufman said.
The fundraiser was geared toward providing the whole family with a fun evening. There were games, pizza and caricature artists for the kids and a cash bar, raffles and silent and live auctions for the adults. The building was close to capacity, Kaufman said, and he estimated around 600 people turned up for the event.
“It was the best one we’ve ever had,” he said. “The live auction was incredible. It keeps amazing me every year. We get more and more kids, and a lot of people donate stuff. It was a great banquet and you can’t ask for anything better. That was a great amount of people who want to support the Rooster Boosters, so it was a great deal.”
