A spectacular success is the way to describe Interlakes Market’s inaugural Thanks for Giving event and the Canco Grand Opening on Oct. 6.
With a beautiful day and fun like face-painting, petting zoo, fish-pond, a VFD obstacle course, candy guess jars, free pumpkins, 16 raffle baskets, a large box for Interlakes Christmas Giftboxes food donations and The Schroever Family’s hamburger joint, there was something for everyone. The huge cake celebrated Canco’s Grand Opening.
One resident could have spoken for everyone when she said, “A very cool event.”
Recipients of the day’s proceeds, both Interlakes and Deka Volunteer Fire Departments and First Responders, were on hand with their firetrucks.
$2,500 was raised, and was generously matched by Canco.
