UPDATE as of 7:44pm 2/25/26 we have about 8 hams left! 🐷 The time has come to order smoked hams for Easter!!! These normally sell out quick and unfortunately we only have so many. We make a new list each time so we do not have a forever list. If you would like a whole or a half just comment here or tell a fire fighter. The cost is $5.50 a lb. We thank you for your continued support! Pick up will be March 29th at the fire station!

🚨ATTENTION! Thanks to everyone for supporting our annual Thanksgiving ham cook yesterday. Next ham cook will be for Easter. With that said we had some confusion and people think they are on our forever list. Unfortunately, we do not have a forever list anymore so in the future we will make a post about taking orders for hams and you will beable to place your order. We smoke the hams the Sunday before Easter and the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We do greatly appreciate the support from each and everyone and we hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!!! 🦃

Happy Fire Prevention Week! Every year we give the younger kids a ride around town on the fire truck! We appreciate the Bennett Community School-Iowa for letting us do this and we got to talk to the Kindergarteners and help the entire school participate in a fire drill.
