2023 DATE: August 18-20, 2023
This post documents my experience on August 21, 2016.
As firefighters took turns at the Dunking Booth…
…we strolled into downtown Valley City…
…to join their annual Street Fair celebration.
We circled the area and found various food vendors…
…offering everything from tacos to donuts…
…gift vendors ranging from chainsawed wooden sculptures to jewelry…
…local veteran groups…
…a local church offering free water (Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church)…
…and activities that included staged musical performances…
…a hidden beer tent behind the fire station…
…a city of inflatables to jump on…
…some smaller inflatables to take home…
…and games for winning both prizes…
…and cash.
Inside the fire station, there was a little more of everything.
There was more food…
…more vendors…
…and even more games (bingo)…
…because, along with the many raffles found on the grounds…
…games seemed to be a major source of fundraising for the fire department…
…who was able to purchase this new ambulance this year.
Congrats on that – it’s a beaut!
