“Anyone can come down, it’s a kid-friendly event. We are situated at the legion right now because we are currently under renovations and we don’t have a kitchen, so I want to say a big thank you to the legion for letting us set up.”

Ramsdell noted that this is the fourth year the event has been hosted, and they hope to see roughly 100 attendees come through the doors.

“It’s just a good cause, and a good way to raise some money.”
