Preparations
are being made for "Food, Foolishness and Fun". Pasta, sauces,
breads, salads and deserts are being prepared by some of Garrett
County’s finest restaurants for the March 31st festivities at
St. Peter’s parish hall in Oakland. The community wide fund
raiser will benefit Garrett County United Way and its affiliate
agencies. "The food will be phenomenal" reported Gloria
MacGowan, a United Way volunteer who has been collecting donated
food, drinks, and restaurant supplies from community restaurants
and grocers. "We are really pleased with the donations we are
receiving. The pasta is being prepared by Brenda McDonnell and
her staff, and the sauces will come from various restaurants.
We are also looking forward to having a selection of many of the
specialty deserts from area restaurants." There will also be an
all-star cast assisting with the event. Elaine McDonald,
realtor and a well known former restauranteur will be a
hostess for the event, while Wendy Friend of the Four Seasons at
the
Will’O the Wisp will be managing the dining room.
Many of the servers will be wearing costumes donated from Our
Town Theatre. The costumed volunteers will be competing
for tips for their favorite agency. United Way volunteer Bob
Stephens said "The costumes are really interesting range from
clowns to mountain men and everything in between. There may
even be an appearance by Elvis. I think everyone who comes to
the event will have fun seeing some of the communities most
respected members costumed and hamming it up for tips."
United Way agencies are selling tickets. Tickets are available
at the door and from Brenda*s Pizzeria, Gregg*s Pharmacy, Four
Seasons Restaurant, Will O* the Wisp, and the Oakland Office of
First United National Bank. Ticket prices are $15.00 for
adults, $7.00 for children and pre-schoolers are free. All
proceeds will go to Garrett County United Way Charities.
