A cherished community tradition will once again bring friends and neighbors together for Thanksgiving. The 12th Annual Mary Sexton Thanksgiving Dinner will take place on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2025, at the Waldron Methodist Church fellowship hall, located at 610 Featherstone Street, across from Corner Mart.
The free dinner will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until the food is gone. Everyone is welcome to attend. The meal will include ham, turkey, dressing, and all the fixin’s, along with plenty of drinks. To-go plates will be available, and limited deliveries can be arranged.
This long-standing event began as an idea from Mary Sexton, whose compassion for others inspired her family and community. Since her passing, her family has continued the dinner each year in her memory, keeping her spirit of giving alive.
“We’re proud to continue what Mom started,” the family shared. “It’s something that brings people together, and that’s what she loved most.”
The annual dinner is made possible by generous donations from local residents, churches, and businesses throughout Scott County. Organizers expressed their heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped make the event a success year after year.
