There are a few things to say about small towns. Anybody can give the good and the bad about them, but our family has been truly blessed growing up in the small town of Manito. One of the "big" events that take place in Manito is the Popcorn Festival, which is held every Labor Day weekend. This annual event includes a parade, games, talent shows, basketball games, a 5K run, and many more events.
The Ruth Cooper Research Fund decided that participating in the parade at the Popcorn Festival would be a great way to show our appreciation for what our community did for us. The theme this year was "Together our community Stays, Prays, and Works" which fit perfectly for our idea! We could never have held the fundraiser in March if it were not for the businesses and the people in Manito and the surrounding towns supporting us and our cause.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for everything you have done for us!
