Two Fundraisers Planned This Week for Granby Memorial High Football Team

The 2013 Granby Memorial High football team is looking to build on its success from last year, when the Bears won a program-high four games.

Head coach Rich Gadoury’s squad is readying itself for at least several games under the lights at the new field/stadium at the high school

Ticket prices will be $3 for students and seniors and $5 general admission.

The Bears will also be debuting brand-new Under Armour Away uniforms this season, which were purchased by the Granby High School Football Supporters (GHSFS) group, which stills pay 100 percent of the cost of fielding the high school team.

As such, the GHSFS is still hosting fundraisers, including two at the end of this week.

On Friday night, the group will host a cookout at Manitook Lake Camp, Lakeside Drive, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for children under 10. Add $5 for tickets at the door.

The cost will include the following:

Montage of cheese and fresh cut veggies; Caesar salad with roasted peppers, parmesan, croutons; barbecued chicken legs and thighs; barbecued pulled pork with rolls and coleslaw; corn on the cob; cold pasta salad with basil lemon pesto, pignoloi nuts, grape tomatoes; giant chocolate layer cake; coffee; and soda and water.

Beer and wine are an extra $4.

On Saturday, the GHSFS will host a car wash at Family Hardware in Geissler’s Plaza.

Family Hardware is providing the space, the power washer and the soap, the grill, the hot dogs and buns, the ice and the soda.

The cost is $8 per car and $10 per small truck.
