It’s that time of year… 🥓🐻 We’re excited to be planning this year’s Bacon at the Bear fundraising event on August 6th!

Keep an eye out, because ticket sales will open soon. But first, we want to open it up to any local businesses or residents who may be interested in sponsoring this fun event. If that’s you, be sure to check out our sponsorship benefits packet available on our website, linked in bio.
