Friends' Marketplace
Celebrates Memorial Day with Style
and a Raffle for LCOC
Memorial Day weekend 2008 meant a lot of things to a lot of people. Sunny afternoons at the beach, hometown parades, seasonal residents opening up their houses for summer '08, weekend visitors and lots of fun at Friend's Marketplace in Orleans.
Jim and Claire Junkins know how to have a good time. There were hot dogs and ice cream,
a dixieland band of sophisticated gentlemen and a raffle featuring a classic Schwinn bike and all proceeds benefiting Lower Cape Outreach Council.
The raffle ran for a week and when it was done, $750 was collected.
Thank you, Friends' Marketplace. Thank you Jim and Claire.
This beautiful classic Schwinn caught a lot of attention
Great music, great fun! Yours truly and a visiting celebrity raffle
