The third annual Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run For Your Life will serve as a major source of income for a number of local organizations.
The event, sponsored by Thrive Allen County and Allen County Crime Stoppers, is by a wide margin the largest fundraiser of the year for both organizations.
Other groups will help as well.
The Allen County Animal Rescue Foundation will set up its concessions trailer to sell hot dogs, hamburgers and Polish sausages. The group also is offering “Color Me Crazy,” face painting by professional face painter Kathy Denny.
The Iola Kiwanis Club will have train rides and sell cotton candy through the evening.
The Kappa Alpha sorority will sell Fritos chili pies and homemade pies.
The Iola Rotary Club will sell pulled pork sandwiches.
Groups plan for Melvin Fun
