A South Cariboo tradition to help raise funds for the Peter Skene Ogden Dry Grad class took place once again this (Monday) morning.
Country 840 morning man Chris Adams says they been doing this since 1989.
“Every year we raise funds for them so they can have a great and safe party for their grad. We usually ask for 300, what we call “pizzas” which is a $15 donation to the cause and this year we wound up with 276 which is a little lower than what we usually get.”
Adams said just like every year there was no shortage in special guests coming into the studio to help out.
“My friend Chris Watkins was here for the whole morning. We had dignitaries from the community come in like Al Richmond and Donna Barnett as well as some representatives from this years PSO grad class answering phones and taking pledges.”
Adams noted that he will continue to accept pledges right up until Dry Grad so if anyone would like to make one can stop by the Country 840 studio Monday through Friday.
‘I thank everyone in the community for giving us a helping hand and helping out the grads.”
