Published 9:35 am Thursday, July 23, 2009

Moscow Lutheran Church, 25965 870th Ave., Austin, will hold a drive-in fundraiser from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday.

Just like the old-fashioned drive-in restaurants, people can eat inside, or volunteers will bring the food to people’s cars. Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chili dogs, cole slaw, chips, shakes, floats and sundaes will be served. Proceeds go toward mission projects.

To get to the church from Hollandale, go 4 miles east on Highway 251 and 2 miles south on 870th Avenue.
