IRONWOOD - For more than 30 years, the Zion Lutheran Women's Club has hosted a salad luncheon and fall festival in October.
Saturday, the tradition continued with more than 40 people who attended the seasonal event.
"We have quite a few people that look forward to this," club president Virginia Heczko said. "They really like this event."
Attendees were able to browse through a white elephant table featuring a variety of items.
Also, the event included a wide variety of salads with ingredients including everything from lettuce, tomatoes and other vegetables, to Doritos, caramel apples and even popcorn.
"We try to do a variety of things each year," Heczko said. "One year we had a turkey salad and everyone really enjoyed that."
Proceeds from the luncheon benefit the church's general fund, and other sources within the Lutheran Synod and community. As for future fundraisers, the church will be holding its annual Little Christmas event in December.
According to Heczko, that event features a pot luck and traditional Finnish rice pudding.
"We hope to see a lot of people at that event," Heczko said.
