Mary Donna Pippin serves as one of the youth leaders and was praying about a fundraiser. Pippin felt like the Lord was instructing her to do a fish-fry, but Pippin thought, "that's just too much work!" Several days later, one of the teenagers approached Pippin with this suggestion, "I think we are supposed to do a fish-fry!" Pippin quickly heeded this confirmation and began making preparations for the evening. Everyone is invited to come out and enjoy what is obviously a divinely inspired event. HBC is located at 4730 SW CR 360, in Madison.
