We’re proud to announce the Fort Seward cannon blasted the donated pair of panties a record-setting distance of 87 feet, 1 inch. This 50/50 raffle benefitted both Dan Mahoney and the Haines Marching Band by splitting the $250 pot.

Now in its ninth year, the band is fundraising for marching percussion instruments.

On Sunday, a new lightweight pair of cymbals made their debut down Main Street. The beautiful addition of our marching tuba — the sousaphone — made its way the same (now nearly two years ago) after many years of fundraising.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this fun event, hope to see you again next year.
