Shits & Giggles is at it again!!!!

This year on September 16/23 at the Beaverton Fall Fair a person of renown will willingly go to jail to help Shits & Giggles raise money for Elder Abuse in Brock Township.

The group is reluctant to say who is going to jail, other than it is someone well know in Brock Township. They are hoping that the people attending the fall fair in Beaverton will help to either bail this person out or !!!!!

This is the groups' third time at the fair, last year they jailed Santa Claus who helped raise over $700.00 for Elder Abuse in Brock Township. These are senior ladies who started the group in 2019 with the assistance of previous Mayor Debbie Bath Hadden who inspired the name. She was always saying that things were all fun and games til they were Shits & Giggles. The ladies in the group came up with the acronym to go with the name.

Seniors Helping In Trouble Seniors & Girls In Gillespie Gardens Lending Everyone Support

So circle your calendar for the 16th of September to see who is going to jail for Elder Abuse and help to bail them out or keep them in!!!!!
