Popcorn Sale - Nov 21st
Troop & Pack 167 will be selling popcorn this year, but we will do it differently than previous years.
On Saturday, November 21st, we will have tables set up at the First State Bank in Stuart from 9:00 am until 12:00 noon to sell directly to the customer.
No taking orders this year. Popcorn will be paid for and picked up right there at the bank.
Just one day only (for now). We have made a small order and hope to go through it that day. If there is leftover popcorn, we can continue to sell it at our events or if there is enough to try again another Saturday.
Note that the popcorn is from a different distributer this year and there are new choices.
If you can help us, then please contact Scoutmaster Rick Erickson or Asst. Scoutmaster Penny Chesterman to set up a time or just come to the bank that Saturday.
