Here's a bit of the story line to get you as excited as we are!
It’s the height of Prohibition in the 1920s, and there’s a mob war brewing between the South Side Hemingford Gangsters and the Northern Nonpareil Mob Outfit. Two ruthless crime leaders, Hal Sapone and Beanie O’Dannon, have finally reached an agreement on bootlegging practices here in Hemingford and have decided to pull together resources to undergo a collaborative effort with criminal endeavors.
Ticket sales go to HCF. The Foundation is looking forward to an exciting 2022 by hosting this community event, constructing the welcome sign with donor bricks in the Hemingford mini-park, offering support to other community betterment projects, and reestablishing mini-grant availability by 2023.
HCF serves the residents of Hemingford and the surrounding area by identifying and supporting the people, organizations, and projects that make Hemingford a great place to live, learn, work, and play. The Foundation is an affiliate fund of the Oregon Trail Community Foundation.
