Make your own memories at this year's La Salle County Burgoo Festival October 10th and 11th in Utica. We are still looking for volunteers to help with parking, vendor setup and tear down, sell 50/50 tickets and so much more.

And you get a really cool sweatshirt like the ladies in this picture. Just fill out the form...it's in the comments.
