PRESQUE ISLE, Maine – The County Federal Credit Union is pleased to announce they will hold the first annual Fall Festival to End Hunger at BigRock from 2-8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 8.
The County’s Fall Festival to End Hunger is aimed at raising money to support local food pantries and the Meals on Wheels program. The event will showcase a car show, food trucks, several bands, and wrap-up with fireworks.
“We take helping our friends and neighbors seriously and have committed to making this an annual event to support our communities,” said Dan Bagley, executive vice president of The County Federal Credit Union.
The car show will feature vehicles from different eras and types. The spectators will select a “Best In Show” award for their favorite vehicle. A variety of food and beverage trucks will be available all day, from Hometown Proud BBQ to County Kettle Corn, there’s sure to be something for everyone. The bands committed to play during the event are No Pressure, Marionette, and Roy Tweedie & the Creamers.
“Older adults throughout the County struggle with food insecurities every day, many unable to meet even their most basic nutritional needs,” said Chris Beaulieu, director of Home Care and Nutrition Services at Aroostook Agency on Aging. “Aroostook Agency on Aging’s Meals on Wheels program is vital to addressing this, yet the need continues to outweigh available funding for nutritional food. This wonderful event will literally put food on the table and allow us to reach more of those older adults who not only rely on these well-rounded meals but also a friendly smile from the volunteer who delivers them.”
Admittance into the event costs $15 on-site or $10 for pre-sale tickets at all of The County Federal Credit Union locations, as well as all S.W. Collins, Co. locations. For more information on the event, go to www.CountyFCU.org/campaign-to-end-hunger.
The County Federal Credit Union serves Aroostook, Penobscot, and Piscataquis counties with branches in Caribou, Presque Isle, Fort Fairfield, Mars Hill, Houlton, Howland, Old Town, and Bangor.
