A big shoutout to Walt, Karen, Bob, Kevin, Don, Jill, Michele, Emily, Misty, Haley, and Barb (and plus the 3 others that I didn’t catch their name) for their work at the famous Rotary Fry Booth over the weekend! These volunteers had the process down to a science and made my Saturday shift just fly by! Through this, we were also able to obtain a donation for the County United Way! Thank you!
Walt said Rotary went through about SIX TONS of potatoes! And I thought I had an exhausting but awesome fair week!
