LIVERMORE FALLS – Bailey Bros. Ford Dealership wants you, if you are 18 or older and have a valid driving license, to take a new Ford vehicle for a test drive Friday. It will help raise money for new homeside Livermore Falls High School football field bleachers.

The dealership is also raffling off Red Sox and Sea Dogs tickets and has joined forces with high school organizations, the Varsity “LF” Club and the All-Sports Boosters to help raise even more money.

The Boosters will hold a barbecue on the field and club members will wash vehicles off the field and to the right of the food booths where water is available.

The test-drives will be held near the field.

The events will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. June 12 at Griffin Field on Highland Avenue.

Bailey Bros. Ford Dealership is sponsoring the Drive One 4 UR School event and will donate $20 toward the bleachers for each test-drive, dealership owner Brenda Brochu said.

Only one test-drive per address is allowed, she said.

“We’re hoping for a good success, a big turnout and good weather,” she said.

If 300 people test-drive one of the five or six models, it would raise $6,000 toward the bleachers, she said.

A rough estimate of the cost for the homeside bleachers is $12,000, Brochu said.

“We’re looking at possibly getting metal bleachers with more alleys,” Brochu said, to have more ways for people to get access.

Currently, the bleachers have wooden seats and are in need of replacing, and only have end alleys for people to get to a seat, she said.

Once they raise money for the homeside, Brochu said, they would like to start raising money to buy a portable set of bleachers for the visitors’ side so that they could be moved around to the baseball field or other playing fields.

Brochu said she pulled in the school groups to try and raise additional funds and make it a community night out. All proceeds will go to the cause.

Livermore Falls Fire Department is also bringing some trucks up for the younger children to check out and there will be helium balloons.

If the test-drive event works out well, she is hoping to do one for Jay High School next fall since the schools are so closely linked together.

“This is a new program Ford has helped dealerships do,” Brochu said. “It’s a great time to drive a new Ford product.”

She plans to have the Ford Fusion, a variety of other vehicles and a truck to drive.
