Moran VFD to ‘fill the boot’ Saturday

The City of Moran Volunteer Fire Department will have a “fill the boot” drive this Saturday, Sept. 22 starting at 9:00 a.m. at the intersection of Hwy. 6 and FM 576 (next to the Red Barn).

“This will be the first boot drive we’ve been able to do in years,” said organizer Michelle Taggart. “Any donation made to the department is greatly appreciated!”

The Moran VFD will also host a “Fall Fun in the Park” on Saturday, Oct. 20. 

“There will be music, games, food, contests, and even a hayride!” Taggart said. “The fire department will be cooking hot dogs and sausage wraps, and will be selling those items as well as chips, drinks, and sweets.” 

Music will be provided by Moran’s local band, Southern Trail.

Music and food will begin at 6:00 p.m., contests will get underway at 7:00 p.m., and a hay ride starts at dark.

“All of the money raised will go into the department, with the exception of the prize money that will be paid to the winners of the pepper challenge and the hot dog eating contest,” said Taggart.
