BRENHAM FIRE DEPARTMENT’S FIREMEN’S FIESTA SATURDAY, SUNDAY

  

The Brenham Fire Department’s biggest fundraiser of the year is set for this weekend.

The 56^th Annual Fireman’s Fiesta will bring two days of activities to the Fireman’s Training Center, starting tomorrow (Saturday) and continuing through Sunday.

Brenham Fire Chief Mark Donovan says volunteer firefighters support the department in many ways, among them being the coordination of fundraisers like this.

Events begin tomorrow with a pitch tournament in the morning, followed by a cornhole tournament in the afternoon.  Registration starts at 10 a.m. for the pitch tournament and is $10 per person, with games starting at 11 a.m.  Entry for the cornhole tournament opens at 2 p.m. and is $50 per person, and play begins at 4 p.m.  The bar and kitchen will be open.

On Sunday, an all-you-can-eat sirloin and sausage lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., dine-in or drive-thru.  A live auction will take place at 1 p.m., and there will also be a drawing.

Volunteer Assistant Chief Stephen Draehn says the Fireman’s Fiesta goes a long way toward assisting the fire department with the purchase of needed equipment.

Meal tickets are $15 and are available at the Brenham Fire Station or from any Brenham Fire Department member.  They can also be purchased at Robert’s Service Station, K&M Grocery and Dan’s Meat Market.

KTEX-106’s Ryan Stone will be at the Fireman’s Fiesta tomorrow, broadcasting live from the KTEX Country Cruiser.
