Food drive this week at the Fair
KSUM, 106.5 FM, the Photo Press and Sentinel, are teaming up again to begin the new Kamp for Kids food drive for the Fairmont Salvation Army this year at the Martin County Fair. The past few years the food drive has come up short, so they are going to help out again by having a non-perishable food drop off at the Martin County Fair from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 12 through Aug. 18. Please drop off your items in the trailers by the north or south gates at the fairgrounds. Things that are needed are non-perishable foods, toys and toiletry items. Please help and share if you can.

St. John Vianney will be serving their free August meal beginning 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18. All are invited to join them for a delicious dinner at St. John Vianney Church, 901 S. Prairie Ave., Fairmont. If you are unable to join them in person due to lack of transportation, please let them know so they can see about delivering a meal to you. Please call (507) 235-2451 with your name and address no later than 12 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16.
