Butte Valley ambulance fundraising event this weekend

DORRIS – The Butte Valley Ambulance Service will hold a fundraiser on Saturday, Aug. 18, to raise money for another ambulance and a new building to house the new ambulances that are too big for the current structure.

The event will begin at 11 a.m. at Dorris City Hall with a lunch. For $3, visitors will get a pulled pork sandwich, cole slaw and a drink. Coffee bean, saddle maker and antique vendors will also be set up at that time.

At 5 p.m., a barbecue dinner will be served and will include tri-tip, chicken, sausage, salad, bread and a drink for $5. Children under 5 years old eat free.

Also at 5 p.m., a drawing will be held for several prizes, including a Browning automatic rifle, a Benelli-Max 4 Super Nove 12 gauge, a Marlin .17 HMR, a big screen TV and 1/4 beef. Many more prizes will be available.

Tickets for the drawing may be purchased at Butte Valley Saddle Co., City Hall, Primo’s Mini-Mart and Merrill Lumber in Dorris; Sharon’s Shell in Macdoel; Parker’s Rod and Gun Rack in Klamath Falls; and Stidham Trucking in Yreka.

Silent and live auctions will follow dinner.

Among the live auction items are numerous jewelry items, a barbecue pack worth $250, 20 pounds of dog food a month for a year, a condo for a week in Cabo San Lucas, three-day event tickets to the Dodge/Save Mart Nascar Nextel Cup Roadrace, blocks of hay, a guided bird hunt, a photo shoot and more.

Silent auction items include a year’s subscription to the Butte Valley Ambulance Service, PHI Air Ambulance subscription, a United States flag flown over the U.S. Capitol, dinners at local restaurants, eye exams, 50 pounds of Nutrena horse feed every month for a year, a fishing trip on the Columbia River and more.
