According to Shawn Cox, whose husband, Bob, is the Scout leader for Boy Scout Troop 102, the Saturday fundraiser, which consisted of a large rummage sale, freshly cooked rib-eye or pork sandwiches, and a car wash , went very well.

Cox said that the Scouts have options on which camps they attend each year, but they must raise the money for the trip themselves.  The rummage items were initialed to identify which Scout would get the money from the sale.

The Scout Troop 102 rummage sale draws a large crowd as noontime approaches on Saturday.

Shoppers had a wide variety of items to choose from, as the sale offered home decor, housewares and clothing.

Scout members worked the sale, keeping items orderly and assisting with carryouts when needed.
