You can find vegetables for Thanksgiving dinner and support a good cause at the same time, later this week. The Portage Rotary Club is hosting their 35th Annual Vegetable Sale at the Portage Co-op parking lot, beginning Wednesday. Garth Clary gives more details.

"We're starting Wednesday at 2 o'clock until 5. Then we go Thursday, Friday from 9-7, and Saturday from 9-5. We're at the Co-op parking lot. We've got potatoes, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, pumpkins, Spanish onions, cooking onions, parsnips, turnips, broccoli and beets."

Clary explains the funds raised stay here in Portage.

"Most of it stays in our community. We do different things. We do the Rotary Fountain, and the Rotary park, our kiddies park there. It's a great place for the kids to play."

He feels community support has been great over the past 34 years, and hopes this year will be the same.

"Well, the community is fantastic. They've really supported us over the years and we really appreciate them coming out and getting their vegetable for the Thanksgiving dinner. It's a great way to have a great Thanksgiving dinner."
