S.O.N.S. ICE OUT PARTY
Sunday April 10th , 2022

After a two year pause due to Covid restrictions., our biggest fund raiser, was held on Sunday April 10^th at the Erie Shrine club. There were 360 adults and 80+ children in attendance. Seventy two volunteers cooked 1100 hotdogs, served gallons of baked beans, macaroni salad, 720 bags of potato chips and gallons of beverages. They also provided games for the children and a perch coloring contest on going all day. There were adult games like a Chinese auction, pull tab tickets, raffles, tip boards for the adults. 100’s of door prizes were handed out throughout the day. Every child was given a brand new rod and reel and every lady in attendance got a door prize. The success of the event was accomplished through the hard work of our board members and volunteer crew and the support and generosity of our sponsors and members. Thank you everyone.
