Legion thanks fair-goers, volunteers for support

Tuesday, August 5, 2014

To the Editor:

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the people who volunteered their time and effort at the American Legion burger stand at the Putnam County 4-H Fair.

I would also like to thank the community for their support as well. It was another rewarding and fun-filled fair for us, and I hope it was for others.

Through the efforts of our volunteers we raise funds that help us sustain our mission of supporting local veterans, veterans` causes and our community throughout the year.

Every year the American Legion gets much-needed assistance from local youth groups during peak business hours for which we are quite grateful. This made it possible to donate almost $2,000 to the local groups.

Hats off and a heartfelt thank you to the: Cloverdale Wrestling Club, Putnam County Color Guard, Northern Putnam County Girl Scouts, Boy Scout Troop 99, The Outlaws traveling girls softball team, Greencastle Girl Scouts, and North. Putnam Volleyball Club.

Once again, thank you all and we are already looking forward to next year's Putnam County Fair.
