Mercer County 4-H invites the community to join them for their annual Soup Cook-Off this Saturday from 5-to-7 p.m. at the Aledo Fire Station. This is a free supper with all food donated by 4-H and community members.
Cash donations will be accepted to benefit the Mercer County American Legion’s Veteran’s Memorial Marker Project. The funds will help them properly recognize the 300 veterans buried at Mercer County area cemeteries with honor markers.
If you can’t make it to the event, but want to support the veteran’s project, mail your check payable to Mercer County American Legion to the 4-H office: Mercer County Extension & 4-H, 910 13th St. Viola, IL 61486.
