Kiani Tari says one of her favourite features of Feed Lethbridge is the dessert auction.

People can bid on their favourite dessert, which serves a minimum of eight people, and successful bidders will have that dessert delivered directly to their door during the Friday night virtual dinner party.

“We have a lot of local businesses that have donated various desserts and the cool thing about the dessert option is it ends an hour before all the other option items,” she said.

“It ends at 8 p.m. on Friday and myself and a few of my staff will personally deliver the auction item to the winner that night for them to enjoy it fresh.”

A 50/50 is available as well, with Kiani Tari explaining that it will feature a minimum cash prize of $2,000. Tickets for the 50/50 are available until 9:00 p.m. Friday with the draw taking place on October 5.
