Eston Riverside Park hosts Fish Fry fundraiser

By Joan Janzen

ESTON - Eston Riverside Regional Park held a Fish Fry Fundraiser on Friday evening, March 28th at the AGT Community Centre in Eston. Karen Mullis was part of a group of twenty volunteers who both organized and worked at the fundraiser, along with a dozen or so people who donated desserts. Pre-orders for take-out and delivery were also available.

This is the second year the group hosted the fish fry. “We had such a great turnout at last year’s event, we decided to do it again,” Karen said. Once again they served 100 pounds of crispy coated pickerel, baked potatoes, coleslaw, homemade tartar sauce and dessert.

Proceeds from the fundraiser are turned over to the park to be used in whatever projects they have planned. “There is always something in need of replacement or repair,” Karen concluded.
