Talk of the town! Hats off to all of the wonderful volunteers who helped out at the Germansville Fire Company’s “Wing Night” fundraiser.

Word has it more than 600 persons were served food which totaled over 3,000 wings and 302 cheese steaks and fry platters.

According to McAdams, those interested may look forward to an “Easter Bunny Wing Night” featuring not only great food but also a glow in the dark egg hunt as well.

So, plan ahead and keep an eye out for the date to be publicized on the fire company’s marquee in addition to upcoming Heidelberg columns.
