“It [fundraisers] is how the Memorial Day Parade gets a lot of their funds. A lot of the bands you see, this is how we pay for them,” explained Councilman George Schnurr. “We all have to get food sooner or later. The last time we did this, it was a huge fundraiser for us. We made hundreds of dollars and I’d like to encourage our residents to go to Foodtown on the selected dates and present the flyer.”
The Foodtown fundraiser will continue until Sunday, March 31. For more information about Memorial Day Parade Fundraisers visit the parade’s website.
