ODESSA, TEXAS - Marita Hendrick spent most of her morning on Thursday running to the grocery store, setting up tables and getting the last-minute items together for the return of Spaghetti Day, which hasn’t been celebrated since 2009.

First Christian Church members will be celebrating their 59th Spaghetti Day Wednesday to benefit Hope House of Odessa as well as honor a good friend of the church. The event starts at 11 a.m. at the church and Hendrick said anyone is “welcome to come and enjoy good food with good people.”

Hendrick, who has been involved with Spaghetti Day for almost 40 years, said everyone is excited to bring it back to the community.
