Soapbox fundraiser planned

PORT JERVIS, N.Y. — The Port Jervis Soap Box Derby will be holding its annual scholarship fundraiser on May 1.

Diner’s food choices will include: Hawaiian Ginger Chicken, Coconut Shrimp, and Teriaki Steak. The date is Saturday May 1, and the cost is $65 per person. Come in your best Luau attire - but no shorts, please.
