Whitey Hagen caught and auctioned off a chicken 30 years ago, and for 29 years, the eggs have been rolling in as big money makers for the Geneva Cancer Auction.
Deviled eggs, pickled eggs, hot eggs, raw eggs, and egg omelets; dozens of eggs have found their way to the auction block and have received fabulous prices for this charitable event. Nobody seems to tire of making, buying and eating them.
Like Whitey says, "With $100 or more a dozen, that is only $10 apiece."
Hagen was involved in a cancer auction in 1975 that raised $256. This year, $83,000 was raised during the auction and other fundraising events in Geneva.

Tragedy has once again struck New Richland, only this time it wasn’t an accident. It was the work of several individuals who must remain nameless.
On the morning of Friday, January 18, a call was made to remove two dead cats from the roof of a building on Main Street. How did they get there? How did they die? Well, that’s the disturbing part.
Eyewitnesses have confirmed that a group of adolescents were seen torturing a cat two weeks ago. They proceeded to kick the cat until death and threw it onto the roof of the building. Two weeks later, a second cat was found on the roof. The second cat was mutilated, in the words of one witness. The head had been cut off, the legs were cut, and there were several stab wounds.
