(La Porte County, IN) - It’s La Porte against Michigan City, but we’re not talking high school sports here.  La Porte Mayor Tom Dermody and Michigan City Mayor Duane Parry will be ringing the bell for the Salvation Army on Monday.

Dermody and Parry will each attempt to finish first with the amount of donations they raise in the red Salvation Army kettles.  It’s supposed to be a friendly competition, but the competitive juices are flowing on both sides.

Dermody, a former Slicers pitcher during the 80’s, said he’s gunning for a victory.  “He better bring it and buckle up because we’re going to win this battle,” he said.  Dermody and members of his staff will be ringing the bell at Kroger on Monday.

Team Parry will be representing his city on Monday from Al’s Supermarket on Karwick Road in Michigan City.
