Get Involved and Plan to Attend Memorial Day Chicken BBQ!
We are hard at work preparing for the BBQ. Please volunteer a little time to work or give a donation to support our biggest fundraising event of the year. The proceeds from this day support the work we do over the whole year, promoting member businesses, bringing people to town, building awareness of our community, preparing for the upcoming construction projects, economic development and more.
Be sure to mark your calender for the family fun event to kick off summer. Contact Doc Esser to participate in the parade that starts at 11am. The parade starts at State Bank of Cross Plains (1205 Main Street) proceeds down Park Street. It concludes with a Memorial Service at American Legion Post 245 one block north of Main at 2217 American Legion Drive.
The chicken bbq starts about 12:30 and we'll be serving up around 1,000 half chickens, about 500 hot dogs, over 400 pounds of potato salad and coleslaw and numerous other yummy summertime necessities! We'll be rocking out to the ever entertaining Musical Memories with DJ Erin Crowley. Kids will enjoy even more activities this year including the bounce house, face painting, crafts and more. The swim team will have their yummy pies and the pool has free admission for the day.
Please let Amy know if you are able to help.
