The seventh
annual River’s End Volunteer Fire Department BBQ Cook-off fund raiser, held May

family fun and funding for community outreach projects.

eat the food – both Saturday (stuffed baked potatoes) and Sunday (Bar-B-Q
plates). The winning teams are as follows, but please visit

on Saturday. Big thanks to the businesses and people that contributed Items for
the auction. Thanks also go out to the judges who came out Sunday and to Darrell
Powell for cooking all the department’s meat for the meal Sunday and all other
R.E.V.F.D. members and nonmembers who worked behind the scenes to make it
enjoyable for all. And an extra big thanks to the community for coming out to
support the department. R.E.V.F.D. could not exist without community support. In
a year when the economy is struggling, the community stepped up and is
responsible for a great community event. See you next year!
