This is one of the club’s major fund raisers for the year. The event provides the funds they need for all of the different projects they help fund and also for the scholarship they give out to help a deserving student each year.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all who came to buy produce so the club can continue to help the community.

This year they sold out of cantaloupe very quickly but hope to have more in a few days.
