HOOPESTON — Staff Report



HOOPESTON — Due to lack of participation the Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl For Kids’ Sake event scheduled for Saturday at Fast Lanes has been canceled.

Executive Director Rose M. J. Henton said in a press release there will be no change in services to the youth served by the program.

The raffle items donated for the event will be used at the Parents Involved for Excellence (PIE) event for families  March 7 at the Hoopeston Middle School.
