Dawgapalooza #17 is scheduled for Friday evening August 30. This is a fundraiser for our Music and Athletic Booster Clubs. In the past, there has been interested by local small business owners and other organizations in setting up a booth to sell items, or provide exposure for their service or product. In response to this, Music and Athletic Boosters have decided to create a new "Vendor Marketplace" this year and make booth spaces available for interested parties in return for a $200 donation. If you know of a business or organization that might be interested in this, please encourage them to reach out to our booster clubs. They can email inquiries to: dawgapalooza@ms.k12.il.us.
