BBQs at Major and Kerrobert raise funds for local fire departments

By Joan Janzen

The Kerrobert Credit Union held their annual barbecue at their Kerrobert Branch on June 6th and the Major Branch on June 5th.

Jamie Gramlich at the Major Branch showed the community's resilience as the barbecue was moved indoors due to high-velocity winds, ensuring the event still went ahead.

The firefighters at Major were outside manning the barbecues while everyone enjoyed their lunch and visiting at the hall. Submitted

Unlike previous years, there weren't any fire trucks on location, but the firefighters were on hand to supply and man the barbecues. Nevertheless, there was a good turnout for the event. "People sat around the tables and visited out of the wind. It was great!" Jamie said. After their meal, they were happy to head to the hall and enjoy cinnamon buns for the "Hands at Work" fundraiser hosted by Marlene Chotowetz.

The BBQs, a community effort, are by donation, and all proceeds go to the fire departments of Major and Kerrobert. Your support is crucial for these local heroes to be there when their communities need them.
