The Bessie Fire Department wrapped up another successful year of their annual Pancake and Whole Hog Sausage Supper on Monday, March 3rd. They also sent two lucky raffle winners home with some fiery prizes—lit erally.
Jordan McCuiston hit the jackpot, winning a brand-new Glock G19 G5 9mm 4.0” FS FDE, while Seth Nason walked away with an XM42-X Flamethrower— and the power to toast marshmallows from 25 feet away .
A total of 975 people attended the event, showing their support for the local fire department. Of those, 856 enjoyed their meals inside, while 119 took advantage of the to-go orders served via pickup on the west side of the gym. Volunteers rolled and served an impressive 1,000 pounds of sausage balls, ensuring no one left hungry.
The Bessie Fire Department, comprised of 13 dedicated members, expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support. “Thank you to the surrounding community that helps us put on this event. We couldn’t do everything ourselves,” the department stated.
The event is a cherished tradition, bringing the community together while raising funds for the fire department’s ongoing needs. One thing is certain— Bessie knows how to turn up the heat!
