During the summer each year our chapters plans to serve Burgers & Brats along with the trimmings at the local celebrations. 

     Elgin Days is normally the first full weekend in June.  For 2020, it will be held the third weekend of June in conjuction with an Elgin/New Leipzig and Grant County Highschool All-school Reunion as well as the Highway 21 Rummage Sales.  We will be selling on both friday and saturday on the "street".  For 2018, we have decided not to complete with the Elgin Alumni Association for the noon meal.  We will continue to use this activity as a potential fundraiser and discuss again for 2019,

     The Grant County Fair held in Carson is normally the third weekend of August right before the school year kicks off.   We have been serving during the rodeo on Saturday and the Youth Rodeo on Sunday the past several years and plan to again this year. 

     Another fund raising activity we added the past three years is the Firemen's Demolition Derby held in October.  Look for it this fall as we will probably be there serving burgers, hotdogs and the trimmings!

     We can always use assistance during these events.  We see a lot of youth help which is exactly what we need, however Alumni and parents are always welcome too! 

We have some years been part of the New Leipzig Oktoberfest serving burgers and brats there.  If you don't know what a Bratwurst is you definitely need to check it out at one of these events.  Add a little sauerkraut and you can become a "German" at the Oktoberfest!
