One of the most popular fundraising events of the season is the annual cereal sale, which will be held in Bicentennial Park on September 24th from 9 am until Noon, or until the cereal is sold out. Post Consumer Brands has donated 10,000 bags of their most popular flavors to this event. Since it worked so well last year, the event will continue to be a drive-thru sale. Cars will enter the park from Academy Street via Fayetteville and exit right onto Academy Street to Church Street to keep the lines of traffic flowing smoothly.
