GRILLING FOR CHARITY IS A MAQUOKETA STATE BANK EVENT THEY SPONSOR A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR, TO HELP A LOCAL CHARITY. IN JUNE, THEY HAD ONE FOR THE
HUMANE SOCIETY AND RAISED OVER $2,000. TODAY, THEY HAD ONE FOR THE
JACKSON COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, TO RAISE MONEY TO PURCHASE HONDO,
A NEW K-9 OFFICER. IN THE BANK'S NORTH PARKING LOT, TENTS AND CHAIRS
WERE SET UP, THE BIG GRILL WAS BROUGHT IN FOR COOKING PORK AND BEEF BURGERS AND THERE WAS ALSO LEMONADE, CHIPS AND BAKED GOODS MADE BY M-S-B STAFF
MEMBERS. ALL THE FOOD WAS FREE, BUT DONATIONS WERE ACCEPTED FOR THE
HONDO K-9 FUND. THE M-S-B EMPLOYEES DO ALL THE WORK, INCLUDING GRILLING
AND THE FOOD IS PURCHASED BY THE BANK. AND, AN EXTRA FEATURE THIS TIME WAS THE "DUNK A SHERIFF EMPLOYEE" DUNK TANK AT 3 BALLS FOR A DOLLAR.
DEPUTIES AND OFFICE PERSONNEL TOOK TURNS IN THE TANK. I BOUGHT 3 BALLS AND ON THROW NUMBER 1, I DUNKED KAREL WELLS, IN PHOTO BELOW. SHE WORKS
IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. A BEAUTIFUL DAY TODAY AND ANOTHER GOOD TURN-OUT.
