ELLSWORTH – Nothing quite says spring like the scent of delicious grilled chicken wafting down the streets of Ellsworth.

Ellsworth Fire Department will host its annual chicken feed fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 25 at Ellsworth Fire Hall (427 Spruce St., Ellsworth). The grills will be going on Spruce Street until supplies are gone, so make sure to get there early to get your grilled chicken and all the fixings. Dinners are available for takeout, drive-thru, delivery and dine-in.

Also onsite, the group will serve soda, beer and other refreshments in the hall. Make sure to check out the many games, silent auction items and raffle drawings. The winners will be announced at 8:30 p.m.

“This is an annual event where we are looking for the support of our community to raise funds to purchase firefighting equipment,” said Chief Chad Peterson. “We hope to see you there.”

Ellsworth Fire Services Association is owned and operated by 10 municipalities: the villages of Ellsworth and Bay City, and the towns of El Paso, Ellsworth, Hartland, Isabelle, Martell, Salem, Trenton and Trimbelle. EFSA also contracts for services with the town of Diamond Bluff and the village of Maiden Rock.
