Super One having annual cookout

MARQUETTE — Super One Foods of Marquette and Negaunee will be holding their annual cookout to help the Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter Labor Day weekend and everyone is invited.

On Friday and Saturday, both stores will be grilling outside and serving up a great meal to Super One customers.

For only $3, get a juicy grilled hotdog, chips and a pop, and for $4 it will be a brat, chips and pop. The cookout start at 11 a.m. and goes until 5 p.m. Stop by for a delicious lunch or take some home.

UPAWS will also be asking Super One customers to shop for the shelter while they are in the store. It�s an easy way to donate items that the shelter uses every day. A list of shelter needs will be available and shoppers can purchase these things and then leave the items with a UPAWS volunteer. UPAWS will get them back to the shelter every donated item helps them care for the animals.

Some popular UPAWS T-shirts will be available for purchase. And UPAWS will also have Rescue Raffle tickets available. For only $5 a ticket, the purchaser could win the top prize of $1,000. The drawing will be on Dec. 21.

All the money raised at the cookout, the T-shirt sales, donated items and raffle tickets all help support UPAWS’s shelter.
