Main fund raiser for Council 6850 to raise money to help support all the projects that we do within the church and community.

We do a steak and cheese sub, hamburgers and hot dog stand at the Raymond NH Town Fair.  We are one of the not-for-profit food vendors left at this fair.  This was our 36th year at the fair.  We were able to raise approx $4,500 this year.  We start about a month before to get ready with many man hours to prepare the trailer and vendors that help with donations and the purchase of product and scheduling.  Then the day of is along day as we have to transport the trailer and all the goods and set everything up.  This year Deacon Eric set up and staffed a display to promote the Rosary.

We sold a lot of steak and cheese, hamburgers and hot dogs, as we were the only stand that was a not-for-profit organization.  We had a couple of newer Knights step up to assist in chairing this event to take over in the future as well as some of our newer Knights volunteered at the stand. 

Over all it went well! All the proceeds help fund our other projects throughout the year in the church and community.
