Finlandia's Upward Bound students to hold Car Wash, Hot Dog Sale June 20 in Hancock

HANCOCK -- Area high school students participating in this year’s Finlandia University Upward Bound summer residential program will conduct a Car Wash and Hot Dog sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, June 20.

Both will take place in the parking lot behind Finlandia’s Old Main on Quincy Street, Hancock. (NOT at Wal Mart, Houghton, as previously announced.)

The car wash and hot dog sale will help fund a one-week trip to Cleveland, Ohio, at the conclusion of this year’s Upward Bound experience. The trip itinerary includes tours of Notre Dame and John Carroll Universities and visits to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Zoo and Rainforest and the Museum of Natural History .

The annual Finlandia University Upward Bound summer residential program gives area high school students the opportunity to experience the daily routines of college freshmen. It takes place this year from June 17 to July 16.
