Outagamie County Democrats to Make Octoberfest Sweet
We're looking for volunteers for this fun and tasty event!
On September 27th, Appleton's downtown will again host Octoberfest, a festival held for the 28th year in the spirit of community pride and celebration. The County Dems are excited to be part of this wonderful event with their deep-fried Snickers™ and Oreos™ booth. Last year, the deep fried concoctions were a hit with festival attendees. Our booth will once again be located on the south side of the 100 block of East College Avenue, in front of Live Oak Market. In addition to the food fundraiser, members of the party, elected officials and candidates will also be at the booth to sign up new members, share party literature, and simply offer information about the Democratic Party vision for our city, county, state and country.
The success of this event depends heavily on the generosity of volunteers like you! We need people to set up, take orders, deep fry, cashier, clean up, and work the information side as well. If you have a couple hours to give, please contact Travis & Julie Thyssen at 920.749-2751. It's important to the work of the party that fundraisers like this are profit-able. The more we make, the more we can do to advance the work of the Democratic Party. Don't miss this chance to raise money and have some fun with fellow Democrats!
