Ideal Beef Feed Tonight

The Ideal Volunteer Fire Department is hosting the 32nd annual Beef Feed today at the Ideal Fire Station on County Road 16. Spokesman Rob Birkland says they are cooking up two thousand pounds of beef and shucking 800 dozen ears of corn which were hand picked last night.

Birkland tells KLKS News, the proceeds go for equipment purchases. Last year they were able to buy a fire boat for the whitefish chain.

Typically over 2000 attend the event, although Birkland figures that number could be higher today. He says it's too hot to cook, so folks may be willing to let the firemen do the cooking for them
