Rotten Boot Contest to Benefit Local Kids A+ Program!

What does a 2010 Ski-Doo snowmobile, a pair of well loved but rotten work boots, and the kids A+ program have in common? On September 26, 2009 - plenty!

The Second Annual Rotten Boot Contest at Work Wear of Central NH in Campton is scheduled for Saturday, September 26th, and there will be something for everyone!

As part of the celebration, there will be hot dogs and other refreshments for sale to raise funds for the A+ program for the local kids. The A+ program benefits kids from Campton, Plymouth, Rumney, and the surrounding area. The hot dogs and all the fixings are being donated by Owl’s Nest Golf Club. With their help, the A+ program will be able to keep all money raised from refreshment sales, allowing them to put it towards programs for the kids. Lisa Ash, Director for the A+ program says ,“This is a great opportunity for us to help not only the kids, but the parents too! We can use the money to build the programs, but it also helps keep the cost down for the parents. We value the opportunity to work with local businesses to celebrate the communities and the families. Fundraisers like this are a win-win.”

Ann-Marie Keeney, owner of Work Wear states “The Rotten Boot Contest seems to be growing each year. We are excited to have A+ be a part of our festivities. We are really hoping to draw the crowd they need to help with additional funding for their budget. This program is so beneficial for our local kids. They offer a vast variety of assistance– from after school programs, to helping with homework, and even summer enrichments.”

If you would like to volunteer with the A+ program on September 26th, even for just a few hours, contact Lisa Ash at the A+ coordinators office - 536-1397. They are looking for help with set up, cooking, and break-down. Kids are encouraged to join, but adults are needed for cooking.

Also under the tents at Work Wear you will find representatives from Outdoor Performance of Bridgewater NH. Outdoor Performance is the local specialist and dealer for Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo and Can-AM ATV’s. With an above average snowfall predicted for this winter, this may be your opportunity to get that pre-season special on the toys you will want this winter. To compliment the 2009 and 2010 sleds you will also find a full display of Choko, offering the best quality snowmobile, motorcycle & ATV clothing and accessories. You can look through their inventory and buy direct from the racks, or order the newest and hottest style in Choko!! And whether for work or fun, the local glove distributor will have a full display of the newest and latest gloves available.
