Tyler Davis, Owner, Crossover Video & Games, Marathon Ontario

June 17th, our first ever food drive came to an end.  Thanks to the generosity of those who contributed, 105 food items (valuing over 300 dollars) were collected.  Mitch Donaldson, of the Food Bank was very pleased with these results- so thank you again to those who contributed! The Food Bank can still use our help so please keep an eye open for their change boxes at various businesses around Marathon.

SUMMERFEST

Friday, July 1st, look for our table at the Marathon Summerfest Open Market. We will be selling our delicious popcorn (plain and seasoned) along with some of our candy and refreshments. On Tuesday, July 5th, we are sponsoring the Drive In movie night and will once again be on hand with our popcorn. Then on Thursday, July 7th, we will be holding a video game tournament. Should be an exciting week!
