Previewing the 44th annual La Crosse Thanksgiving Community Dinner with Ruth and Vince

"Come for community, stay for the food," that's the motto for this year's 44th annual La Crosse Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Ruth McQuiston-Keil and Vince Ristow stopped in the WIZM studio to help preview the event, which happens 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving in South Hall at the La Crosse Center. McQuiston-Keil stressed that this event is free to all, and welcomed everyone to come in and enjoy the company. They expect to serve over 3,000 meals — from deliveries, carryout and in house.  Ristow noted it cost about $30,000 to put on the dinner and gets more expensive every year. The whole thing is donation funded and volunteer run. Anyone who wants to help donate to the cause can so online here or mail donations to LCTD, Inc., P.O.
