The WOCS’s Hamburger Fry proceeds benefit all three of their campuses: Clinton, Weatherford, and Elk City. The schools accept no federal or state funding so fundraisers like the Hamburger Fry and tuition are their only sources of revenue for school resources. This year they’re hosting two Hamburger Fry fundraisers: this annual Fall sale and one in the Spring on February 28th in Elk City’s Convention Center. The fundraiser on November 15th will have different silent auction items available for bidding, and a bake sale will be held alongside it. Auction baskets feature camping equipment, OU merchandise, and more. The Hamburger Fry will open for lunch and for dinner with tickets available at the door with cash or check. Lunch will be from 11 AM – 1:30 PM, and dinner will be from 5 PM – 7:30 PM. Children the age of 12 or under can get in for $5 and all other tickets are $8. Don’t miss out on the chance to win a couple of auction items and to enjoy a burger or two with the WOCS.
