A good crowd is expected this Thursday at the Marshall Civic Center for the long awaited Spaghetti Dinner Gala sponsored by Marshall's T&P Depot and Museum, said Pat Furrh, who is helping organize the event.

Although the date has been postponed twice due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the long awaited event will get underway at 6 p.m. Sponsors of the fund-raiser event for the Depot say it will be well worth the wait.

The dinner with all the trimmings will be prepared by Gucci and his staff and served by the Depot's board of directors. There will be great live entertainment provided by Jerry Payne and his saxophone and the music department of East Texas Baptist University.
