The Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a new drive-through fundraiser in the coming weeks.
The Half Way to Steak Fry Day drive-through lunch will be held on Thursday, April 1
st at the Chamber office in Community Park on West Morton Avenue.
Jacksonville Area Chamber President Lisa Musch says after the annual Chamber Steak Fry event at the Jacksonville Municipal Airport last year had to be canceled due to COVID, the switch to a drive-through event was a big hit for everyone who attended.
“
We had great success back in September with this event, so a lot of people were wondering if we would do it again. We thought it would be a great opportunity to do so because we are just about halfway to what we hope will be a normal steak fry In the fall.”
