It was truly a community event with Scout Troops 60 and 1602 led by Erin Westmoreland, who helped serve over 100 meals on Saturday, Oct. 5. Craig Armstrong and the Sunrise Rotary Club prepared and grilled the delicious chicken and bread. Meals that Connect provided the salads. Local firefighters Justin Ludwig, Mike Orr, and Dustin Virgil served up root beer floats.
