Geary County employees wrapped up their week of fundraising activities for the Junction City / Geary County United Way campaign on Friday. They ranged from a bake sale and raffle baskets to a soup and chili contest.
County Treasurer Kathy Tremont stated it went well. the bake sale was probably considered the most successful event. “We had four or five, maybe six different types of pies. We had a lot of brownies, a lot of different party mixes. We sold just about everything. CInnamon rolls, cake and rice krispie treats were among the other items sold.
Raffle basket winners include Julie Loper, Mark Anderson, Patti Aska and Noel Park. Kathy Tremont won a KSU yard stake, and Linda Caraballo a KU yard stake. And Caraballo was also the winner of the top chili entry in the soup and chili competition.
