Owatonna Young Life

Director Lindsay Thompson was happy with the response to the first-ever 5K and how the community is supporting Young Life.

Even without their signature cakes, the Young Life Cake Auction reached its goal on Saturday during their 42nd annual fundraiser in Owatonna.

People packed Trinity Lutheran Church in Owatonna on Saturday to show appreciation to Chuck Jamison, who has retired after 36 years as the Young Life director.

In a letter sent via email Thursday, Chuck Jamison thanked supporters as he prepares to enter retirement after 36 years as the Owatonna Young Life Area Director.

Many of the cakes at the Young Life cake auction are works of art. But you might want to gobble up the specials that come with them during Saturday's 39th annual event.

Major musicals and major league sports are among the specials that come with the cakes during Saturday's 39th annual Young Life cake auction at Owatonna High School.

A dragon lurked in one corner. One entry would have looked more appropriate at a farmers market rather than a cake auction.
