PALMER — City officials have announced they will hold a fundraiser on
Saturday, Oct. 28 to benefit Officer Armitage who was recently diagnosed with
cancer.
The event, featuring a fish fry, will be held at Palmer Middle School and will
begin at 6 p.m. The cost will be $6 for adults and $3 for children.
Live music will be provided by Blue Diamond. The event will also include an
auction and a 'best dessert' contest. Contestants may enter at the door. All
desserts will be judged and then sold.
Also at the event, a dollar will buy an opportunity to dunk individual members
of the city council in whipped cream pies. Four dollars will dunk the whole
council. There will be a raffle for one chance to dunk the city secretary,
Margaret Rhodes.
All proceeds will be directed toward Armitage's expenses during his
treatment. Send donations to Palmer Police Association, Officer Armitage Fund,
