MILANO VFD FUNDRAISER
The Milano Volunteer Fire Department held their annual fundraiser on Saturday and it was another huge success raising over $35,000 through a chili dinner with all the trimmings and both live and silent auctions. There was also live music, as seen in the photo, and a drawing for guns. The ladies’ auxiliary raised $30,000 which they presented at the event.
