The Perry-Area Chamber of Commerce fireworks fund drive took another big step forward Thursday with a successful pie auction held live on AM 1310 KDLS radio. A dozen classic confections created and donated by local bakers helped raise more than $8,000 for the Chamber’s summertime fireworks program, according to Perry-Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bob Wilson.
