New London Band Funds Shenandoah Appleblossom Trip
The New London High School band raises money for a Winchester festival trip by cutting and selling firewood. Fifty members and parents, led by James Von Sickle, work on Sundays and evenings on a Hartland Township farm, loading 16 inch logs into a brigade and selling them along with paper and bottle drives and a raffle. If they raise enough for three buses and motel stays, they will march in the Shenandoah Appleblossom Parade. Winchester is about 75 miles northeast of Washington.
