WHITE BEAR
The Bear Claw Casino and Hotel was happy to host the community fish fry, a day of sharing on Sept. 26 in the front parking lot.
This event was held yearly before COVID-19 hit in 2020. At that time the fish fry was put on hold due to the regulations associated with the pandemic.
To support the event, people attending were asked to bring a non-perishable item for the Carlyle and District Food Bank. Organizers presented 28 turkeys and many items collected during the event.
Some of the locals felt the need to go a step further and donate a monetary amount which great quickly to $200 and this to was given to the food bank for purchases they may not receive.
With 200 people in attendance the event went very well, and people were happy to be out and about. Many volunteers thought the event had been missed, based on the comments they received from those that attended.
Wanting to do more for the community, they presented the Carlyle and District Food Bank with 28 turkeys and a great number of items collected during the event.
It is their plan to host this event in the future and continue to pull communities together.
