Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department to hold its annual fundraiser

It’s that time of year again. As the summer draws near to an end, the community in Rist Canyon gets together to raise money for their volunteer fire department. The Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department will take over the meadow at mile marker 12 in Rist Canyon just across the street form the Fire Station. The event will happen on September 8 from 10am to 4pm.

Only 15 minutes from Vern’s in LaPorte, they will set up tents and hold a number of fun community activities including performances from The Liz Barnez Band, The Laramie River Band, Cowtown, Curious Gage, The Jill Brzezicki Band and The ABLE Quartet.
