Soup’s on!

For the 32nd year, the Colfax Fire Department will hold its annual soup supper. Starting at 5 p.m. March 8, people will flood into the fire station excited to get their fill of tasty soup and yummy desserts all while helping a good cause.

“The soup supper is the biggest fundraiser for the department,” Colfax Fire Fighter Dennis Lester said. “It has helped keep the department up to date on things big and small.”

Along with helping with fighting fire and caring for firefighters, the department looks to use these funds to purchase a new defibrillator. What used to be a $10,000 purchase is nearly $40,000 today, Lester said.

“While today the defibrillator can do much more than just deliver a for first responders, it comes with a price tag,” Lester said.

On the menu is the classic firehouse chili and famous Ron’s potato soup along with a variety of fruits and vegetables and desserts donated by volunteers.

The supper is a free will donation event. Checks can be made payable to the Colfax Fire Association.

Come pack the station and help the community volunteers continue their life-saving work in Colfax.
