Dime toss at Otsego County fair!  Good News!  The scouts are again asked to work a the dime toss at the Otsego County Fair.  However, the twist is that the profits earned on the days that the scouts worked, WILL GO IN YOUR SCOUT ACCOUNT! Each scout must bring a parent, and the hours worked by both scout and parent will count towards your share for your scout account.  Eric expects that it will be busiest from 6pm-10 pm so he'd like 3 parents and 3 scouts during that time.  The other times can be 2 parents and 2 scouts.  Please check out the link and sign up! Otsego County Fair Dime Toss sign up sheet  They also need some folks to help take the tent down on Saturday.  Please call Eric if you can assist with that. 231-675-2220.
