\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Summary\nThe PBA Pantry Pedal is a charity event that is part bike ride, part food drive and lots of fun! Participating riders will buy food items from local grocery stores that will be donated to Minnie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Food Pantry in Plano. Opportunity for PBA to get wonderful publicity for work outside of cycling.<\/p>\n

Minnies\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Food Pantry\nMinnie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Food Pantry is located at the corner of Independence and Parker. There is a need during the summer to feed school children who are not at school to get meals. A list of food staples has been provided to fill this need.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Minnie’s Food Pantry fed 37,000 people. Of that number, over 10,000 were children.<\/p>\n

When\nSunday, April, 28, 2019 from 11am \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 2pm\nWhere\nRodeo Goat Plano located at 641 N Powell Pkwy, Plano 75075 …<\/p>\n

By Travis Hairgrove | www.heraldbanner.com<\/h3>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

The Greenville Chamber of Commerce announced Monday that there will not be a Rally \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRound Greenville this year.<\/p>\n

Each September, for 13 years, the annual event brought entertainment to downtown Greenville that included tightrope walkers and musical acts like the Emerald City Band as well as chili cookoffs, cornhole tournaments, food trucks and other attractions.<\/p>\n

However, with two-day-long Rally\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s costing about $60,000 and one-day Rally\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s running around $40,000, chamber President and CEO Byron Taylor says the organization did well to simply break even when running the event. …<\/p>\n
