Council Purchases New Fund-Raising Trailer
The council recently agreed to terms on a new trailer that is equipped
specifically for fund raisers. It has two deep fryers, a sink,
refrigerator, freezer, cooling fans and a side window. We recently used
the trailer at Cheesefest and it proved to be invaluable. This trailer
will help us in our goal of staffing a booth at Appleton's Octoberfest
Celebration as well as our current annual fundraisers. To assist in the
purchase we sold our existing trailer.
