This was an organization that I helped out by being the Fall Festival Chairman for the Boy Scout Troop 350 booth for almost 2 decades.
The Fall Festival was/is the biggest fund raiser for our troop, as was the case for the other 137 or so non profit organizations that have booths down there but they all contribute some of their profits to the West Side Nut Club that makes millions............and donates all of it back to worthwhile causes in the local community.
Such an awesome organization run by awesome volunteers!!!
West Side Nut Club
Our mission is to initiate, promote, and support any and all movements which are for the betterment of the West Side of Evansville, Indiana and also for the betterment of Evansville as a whole.

The Fall Festival features 137 food booths along West Franklin Street stretching from Wabash Ave to St. Joe Ave. The Munchie Map has an alpabetical listing of foods with corresponding booth numbers so you can easily locate your items.
WHO ARE THE BOOTH OWNERS:
Food booths are comprised of non-profit, or not-for-profit, groups from all over the area. Please help support your community as this is the major fundraiser during the year for the majority of the organizations represented.
This was another wonderful organization that I was part of helping (with our yearly Santa Clothes telethon) for over a decade when working as chief meteorologist for WEHT in Evansville:
