Spring is a great time for community fundraisers, and last Sunday proved to be a lucrative one for the Barriere First Responders’ car wash and hot dog sale held at the IDA parking lot. The group reports approximately $800 was raised for the local first responder program, thanks to the generosity and support of area residents. Their next fundraiser will be a Spaghetti Dinner this Saturday, May 10, 5:30 - 7 p.m., in the Barriere Legion Basement.
