Ovilla's bravest are gearing up for a night of pasta and generosity. The Ovilla Service League is hosting its annual spaghetti dinner this Friday, with proceeds earmarked for the town's first responders. The event, which is set to take place at the Vertical Church Ovilla, is not just a carb fest – it's a chance for locals to show their support for the men and women who keep their streets safe, as per the Ovilla Police Department.
The Ovilla Police Department has made it known that several area businesses have stepped up with donations. Among them, Clyde Hargrove Investments and the Corner Stone Credit Union have opened their wallets, as have Creekside Mirror & Glass, Oberg Enterprises, the Red Oak Independent School District, and Simmons Bank, their civic spirit is as satisfying as the meal promises to be.
Tickets to the dinner are going for $15 for adults and $10 for the kiddos. The stakes, some would say, are higher than just filling bellies with delicious spaghetti. By showing up, community members play a direct role in funding the resources that enable police and fire departments to operate effectively. And let's not forget – it's also a prime opportunity for locals to rub elbows with the folks behind the badges and hoses.
With doors opening at 6 p.m. at 3333 Ovilla Road, the event promises good eats and even better company. The town of Ovilla has a tradition of rallying around its protectors because as the saying goes, it takes a village.
