Haven\u2019t picked up that Easter flower for you mom, wife or girlfriend yet? Time is running short.
\nBut for last minutes shoppers, there is a way out for you.
\nBeginning Friday and continuing through Sunday, Boy Scout Troop 300 and Cub Pack 300, both of Tyrone, are sponsoring their annual Easter flower sale in the parking lot of Kopp Drug in Tyrone.
\n\u201cThis fundraiser single-handily supports the troop for the entire year,\u201d said Pete Kreckel, scoutmaster of Troop 300, noting the money raised will be used for purchasing merit badges, raising ranks of the boys in the troop and other such costs. \u201cThe boys raise their own money to support their camping trips and other outings.\u201d
\nAccording to Kreckel, half of all the money raised will be donated to Cub Pack 300.
\n\u201cBecause they are younger, it\u2019s just a little tougher for them to raise money,\u201d said Kreckel. \u201cWe understand that Cub Scouting leads directly to Boy Scouting, so we try to keep things moving for both groups and keep the ranks healthy.\u201d
\n The flower sale will begin at 9 a.m. both Friday and Saturday and close at 4 p.m. On Sunday, the sale will continue from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
\nKreckel said the flowers will be priced from and will include all the popular Easter favorites, including daffodils, mums, tulips and lillies.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re really excited about the sale again this year,\u201d said Kreckel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
