No S#@%! Road Apples Could Be Worth $10K in Apple Blossom Parade Fundraiser

There will be a very special "deposit" on the parade route that could earn someone $10,000  Yes, it's only manure but that's a lot of green!

Rotary Club of Wenatchee Sunrise is back with the 3rd Annual "Road Apple Roulette",  a raffle fundraiser, sponsored by Building North Central Washington.  The primary non-profit beneficiary is the Wenatchee Valley Senior Activity Center.
