And the winner is… Mayor Olga Velazquez. 
Almost 650 votes were tallied for the Portage Roast. Senator Karen Tallian, Councilman Brendan Clancy and Mayor Olga Velazquez all graciously volunteered to be candidates under fire for the good of the cause. The Portage Parks & Recreation Foundation will be holding the Roast on October 23rd at the Yacht Club in Portage. This event is a fundraiser for the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk. The Portage Parks department is charged with maintaining this beautiful attraction and the proceeds from this event will support this immense task.
Tickets are now available for this adult only Roast. The cost is $50 per person or $95 per couple and will include heavy hors d'oeuvres and open bar. Doors will open at 6:30 pm and the Roast will begin at 7:30. Attendees will enjoy music and dancing after the Mayor is well done! Tickets are very limited so call today to reserve your spot.
