Things are 'cooking' at the Bureau County Fairgrounds

Today, Saturday, the Bureau County Fair Board kicks off the season with a special fundraiser dinner for the fair. A grilled pork chop dinner will be served from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Allen Building at the fairgrounds. For $8, you get two grilled pork chops, potato salad, baked beans, applesauce, dessert and a drink. For the lighter eater there is a one chop meal for $7, or get a kids’ meal for $3 with a hot dog and a side dish. Tickets will be sold at the door. During dinner, the musical group Ace will perform. Chicken bingo returns for entertainment following dinner. If you haven’t ever played bingo with a live chicken, you are in for a big treat.
