ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE
Mayor of Portage, Bill Tierney, has graciously accepted our Ice Bucket Challenge! Participants can choose to have a bucket of ice water dumped over their head, make a donation toward ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research, or both. Once the challenge is complete, the participant can then choose another person to accept the challenge. Watch the mayor get soaked and find out who he selects for the next challenge, at 3 p.m., right after the car show awards, across from the Chamber office at 104 W. Cook St.
