Elk Volunteer Fire Department Annual Summer BBQ

The Elk Volunteer Fire Department invites you to its 12^th annual Summer BBQ to be held Saturday, July 25, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Greenwood Community Center on Highway 1 in downtown Elk.

 

Department members and friends will serve up all-you-can-eat grilled tri-tip, smoked chicken and portabella mushroom entrees, along with beans, green salad, homemade dessert and coffee.  Fresh bread from the Center’s wood-fired brick oven will accompany the meal, all for a donation of $20 for adults and $10 for kids 7-12 (6 and under free).  Elk’s famous Margaritas will be available, along with beer, wine and soft drinks.

 

Emergency vehicles and equipment will be on display at the BBQ.  Children can meet Smokey the Bear and enjoy a dip in the portable pond.  Weather permitting, you can inspect CALSTAR and REACH helicopters and meet their crews.  And throughout the day, local musicians will keep things festive.  There will be a raffle featuring items donated by local inns, merchants and community members.

 

The Elk Volunteer Volunteer Fire Department has been serving the community for 60 years.  The annual BBQ generates critical funds to maintain the department and its equipment.
