Fifty kids and parents from the Hope Missionary Church “Summer of Serving” outreach program served up a free lunch Wednesday at Whicker Park for Bi-County Services as well as the Boys and Girls Club. More than 177 hotdogs were served. Also on the menu were grilled burgers, chips, brownies or cookies, and ice cream. Yard games and bingo were part of the fun.
