Special Legion announcement #2 of 3 for June....
Whats better than the Legion and Center Point Volunteer Fire Department coming together for community related events? Nothing....
The Legion with our annual sweetcorn BBQ invited the Fire Department in on the fun... then the wheels started turning, or smoking, depending on how you look at it. Shortened time frame this year for planning it will be the sweetcorn BBQ with a few extra things going on uptown, which will be released as the summer goes. However, this is a long term partnership, we have already thought about the future and different events with heavy community involvement we can grow this into. We look forward to the future and building something great for the community!
Save the date and your appetite for August 15th, we will give updates at the summer progresses.
Have a great week!
