The 2016 Belgrade August Fest is coming on Friday and Saturday, August 12 and August 13. The July 28 issue of the Bonanza Valley Voice will begin coverage of the activities and schedules for those two days. Traditionally the Belgrade Fire Department hosts a chicken feed on Friday night, and then Saturday is packed with fun activities for all ages.

Spread the word! August 12 and 13!

*Update: I saw a poster for the Belgrade Fire and Rescue chicken dinner at the Belgrade Post Office. The menu includes a 1/4 rotisseries chicken, baked potato, beans, dinner roll, milk and coffee. They'll be serving from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Belgrade V.F.W. with tickets on sale now for $8 from any Belgrade Fire and Rescue department member. At the door the ticket price is $9.

Also, a fundraising raffle is currently underway for the Belgrade Fire Relief Association. The drawing will be held at 9 p.m. on Saturday, August 13 at the Brothers Bar. The grand prize is $10,000 cash!

Note: the Bonanza Valley Voice will live stream the grand parade on Saturday at 4 p.m. on August Fest weekend.
