Concession Trailer News

The Concession Trailer went to the Dardanelle Christmas Parade. A crew of festive Kiwanians was kept busy supplying the crowd of parade watchers with FREE Hot chocolate. Over 40 gallons of hot chocolate was given to the spectators. Sales of brownies, cookies, cider and coffee resulted in a profit that will go to help the kids of the River Valley. Thanks to Paula Pendergrass and Bill Belovitz for the donation of baked goods! Our club generated a lot of goodwill for Kiwanis everywhere.
