(La Porte County, IN) - The mayors of La Porte and Michigan City rang the bell yesterday for the Salvation Army.

Their efforts were not only for a good cause but for bragging rights with the mayors and members of their respective administrations trying to out find raise each other.  We should know the winner later today when the grand totals raised by each mayor are expected to be released by the Salvation Army organizations in La Porte and Michigan City. 

During last night’s La Porte City Council meeting, Dermody revealed more than $12,000 was raised by his team.

Team Dermody rang the bell outside Kroger while team Parry was camped beside a kettle outside Al’s Supermarket on Karwick Road.
