Bourbonnais Friendship Festival begins June 23
The 35th annual Bourbonnais Friendship Festival begins Wednesday, June 23, and continues through Sunday, June 27.
“The usual yummy selection of food can be found, with Chuck’s Sirloin Wagon coming back, as well as the best corn dogs, foot long hot dogs, funnel cakes, cake rolls, asian kabobs, fried vegetables and MORE!,” according to festival volunteer Valerie Goldfain Hovarter.
There are also several food-related special events planned:
FRIDAY (June 25): The annual firefighters’ fish fry will be held from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the festival pavilion. Fish sandwiches, fish dinners, corn dogs, french fries and drinks will be available.
SATURDAY (June 26): Buffalo Wild Wings will be holding two wing-eating contests, both from 8 to 8:30 p.m. One will be timed, with the winner being the contestant who eats the most wings in the alloted time. The other will be a blazin’ hot wings speed-eating contest. There is a $5 entry fee and the winner of each contest receives $25.
Also on Saturday, the firefighters will be grilling and serving shish-ka-bobs. The time is yet to be determined, so please go to www.bourbonnaisfriendshipfestival.com for the latest details.
