PAGE 6 - INTER-COUNTY LEADER - NEWS SECTION - A - JUNE 22, 2011
by Sherill Summer Leader staff writer WEBSTER - A community garage and bake sale was held this past weekend at the Orange Community Center with the proceeds going toward a dog park that organizers hope to place in the old municipal dump north of Webster. Over $2,000 was netted from the sale and more may be added toward the total after some of the nicer items are auctioned off at an upcoming Ericksons consignment auction. There are numerous collection cans in area businesses that have collected hundreds of dollars for the dog park as well, so that the total collected so far nears the $3,000 mark. The village of Webster owns the land and has agreed to provide some maintenance once the park is established, but funds must be collected from the community for the fence. Depending on how much money is raised in the community will determine how large the fenced area of the dog park will be. It was estimated last year that it would cost approximately
$15,000 to fence the entire 16 acres. Upcoming fundraisers are an opportunity for discounted shopping at Yonkers in Superior on Nov. 12 and dog park memorials and sponsorship plaques that will be mounted on a sign at the front entrance of the dog park. The memorial and sponsorship plaques range from 2-by-4 inches to 4-by-8 inches in size with prices ranging from a $50 memorial to a favorite pet to a $1,000 sponsorship. Tiger Manufacturing, through the Webster High School, will be creating the plaques. For more information on these fundraisers, visit the Orange 4-H Web site at www.Orange4H.com
Cora and Jessica Bauer have made a name for themselves over the years for being exceptional Girl Scouts. The girls have retired from Scouting, but are not finished organizing events to benefit the community. The girls decided to team up with the Orange 4-H (who have taken on the dog park as a community project) to hold a garage / bake sale at the Orange Community Center east of Webster this past weekend, June 17 and 18. Over $2,000 was raised for the fencing needed to make the dog park a reality. Shown (L to R): Cheryl Ingalls, Vickie Bauer, Cora Bauer and Toni Olson. - Photo by Sherill Summer
