4th of July Needs Volunteers
It’s only March but now is the time to start getting organized for the 4th of July. Shaun Rottner has agreed to chair and Jackie GrosJacques will be handling the parade again this year. They want to add some new events that they hope will bring some additional fun and excitement to an already fun filled day here in our Bavarian Village. Ideas for new events are a Horseshoe throwing tournament and a derby of sorts [anything that will roll via gravity down either Marquam or Church St.]They need and are looking for your help so if you're the right kind of person who likes to get involved and bring some fun with you then get yourself signed up to help. Please give Shaun a call at 971.322.4025 or e-mail eat@bhaus.net and let them know that you’ll be glad to help out. That includes helping with or being in the parade. Or you can just stop them in the street or come by the restaurant and offer your support. Mt. Angel's 4th of July is a part of our "together we can do big things in our little town event" it has been growing each year. Wouldn't you like to be involved?
