Would you like some of the season's sweet Vidalia onions -- without having to go to Georgia to get them? The Shriners have come to the rescue.
Zelzah Shrine Temple is again bringing in Vidalia onions to raise funds to help maintain their center. The onions are $10 for 10 pounds or $6 for 5 pounds; pre-orders are being taken at 382-5554. Any onions that don't sell will be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays beginning April 28 (and as long as supplies last) at the Zelzah Shrine Center, 2222 W. Mesquite Ave. Shriners also plan to sell the onions on street corners and at local markets, but in some prior years, they sold out in pre-orders. ...
