Close to 75 Cardington-Lincoln alumni and guests gathered at the American Legion on Park Avenue on Friday, Oct. 13, for the alumni association’s first 5th Quarter fundraiser. Kings Krossing Food Truck served a menu full of hotdogs, hamburgers, pretzel bites, mozzarella sticks, and much more to guests in attendance.
The 5th Quarter originally ran in the 1970s and 1980s and was organized by members of the American Legion. They were Gerald and Ann Goodman, Horsey McClenathan, Keith Pearl, Bob Sparks, Jim Morris, Dick King, Bill Disterdick and Elmo Rogers.
The alumni association conducted a 50/50 raffle and staffed the registration table, drink ticketing booth and drink station. Attendees enjoyed the food, a cold drink, and visited with great company during the hours following the homecoming game against the Fredericktown Freddies. All proceeds made were to benefit the association’s scholarship fund.
