- Concessions -
We will have our concession trailer at all home games and at other events around Skagit Valley. The DAWG FOOD is awesome, great burgers, hot dawgs, fries, dawg balls, all kinds of snacks and beverages hot and cold. (You have got to try the Jake's Special !).
A great thanks to Don and Linda Adkins and Boys (Jake and Justin) they had been working our concession trailer and cooking tirelessly - forever, they will be missed.
*** Parents are required to help with concessions and other functions throughout the season. ***
As well as supporting your team with your DAWG attire, coats, hats, shirts, flags and stickers are also available at games and the practice field throughout the season.
Our Auction/Dinner, Concessions and Merchandise, along with your much appreciated volunteered time is how we keep the DAWGS running. These fundraising activities keep our registration costs low and allows for updating and maintaining our equipment and gear, administrative and league fees, field fees, printing, web and other costs, insurance on your child and equipment.
Considering out of your registration fee - $25 is for fundraising cards (which you get back when you sell them) and $50 is for the jersey your child gets to keep, it's a pretty good deal. Information as to why, when and where, will be available at registrations and pre-practice parent meetings.
Show your support for Mount Vernon youth with a donation of $500 or more to our program and we'll add your business name to our concessions trailer and website for all to see!
Thanks for all the help and support, GO DAWGS!!
