“Today is our Baked Potato Bash,” said Randy Saunders, Scout Executive for the Southern Sierra Council. “This is our community event, fundraiser and just a good-ole time with food and fun.”
Organizers with the event say some companies like the exposure they get from these gatherings.
“It feels good because a lot of people want to build up their companies,” said Scout Lindsay Sanchez. “This is really good because this is going to be a good way to build them up and have them well known. It’s also really good food.”
