100 Homemade Blueberry Pies for a Great Cause!

It took an incredible team of veterans, seniors, neighbors, and even our city librarian to make it happen!

Over two days, volunteers at American Legion Travis Aaron Moothart Post 184 rolled dough, mixed filling, assembled, and baked 100 homemade blueberry pies — twice as many as last year — in preparation for Brownsville’s Stand By Me Day.

Every pie sold helps support the SGT Travis Aaron Moothart Memorial Scholarship Fund, which awards scholarships each year to graduating Central Linn High School seniors in honor of Sgt. Travis Aaron Moothart, who was killed in action while serving in Iraq in January 2004.

This year, thanks to your continued support, the Post was proud to award two $2,500 scholarships.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated their time, purchased a pie, and helped honor Travis’s legacy. Your support is making a lasting difference for local students and our community.

Down at Pioneer Picnic we met a couple young ladies from China. They were here to watch the horse shoe competition. One spoke pretty good English, she was attending college in Maryland. Then they off to the coast to get some crab and lobster. We enjoy meeting and chatting with people.
