fish fry

The spring benefit at the Blue Bonnet Cafe for the Marble Falls Area Emergency Medical Service (MFAEMS) is set for Wednesday, March 1, from 4-8 p.m..

Owners of the historic dining spot at 211 US 281 in Marble Falls dedicate the proceeds to the first responder organization.

“It amounts to about $14,000 a year that supports most of our training,” said Johnny Campbell, MFAEMS executive director. “Our staff and city officials pitch in to help witih the serving, but it's folks who have pitched in to dine for the last 25 years who share our thanks.

Plates of fried fish and sides are $10 and $4 for children age 5 and younger. For take out orders, call 830-693-2444.

The Mission Outreach Fish Fry at St. Frederick Baptist Church, 301 Avenue N in Marble Falls, on Saturday, March 19, will be a joint effort with Mission Marble Falls with a special goal.

Fried fish and the trimmings at $10 per plate will support the project to pave the church driveway and parking lot.

"It is important for the church to be able to meet the city code," said Grant Dean, vice chairman of the Mission Marble Falls Board. "This is where Mission Marble Falls carries out its work to be sure no one goes hungry."
