🤖🍝 We’ll admit it… our graphics might have had a little help from AI. But don’t worry…Our actual, real-life firefighters (standard number of limbs and all) will be the ones cooking up the spaghetti at our fundraiser!

No glitches. No weird noodles. Just good food, good people, and a great cause. Come hungry, we promise it’s 100% human-made. ❤️🍝🔥

Yesterday (3.29.2026) the Wanamingo Fire Department was paged at 7:22am to a house fire with visible flames through the roof. All occupants were able to get out of the house. We were on scene for 4 1/2 hours. Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.
Thank you to Zumbrota Area Ambulance for assisting.
