Large prize tables all have high value, large ticket items including appliances, jewelry, collectibles and electronics.

The event is approaching 500 prizes in total.

“This event has steadily become one of our most important fundraisers of the entire year. Due to the overwhelming support of our community, we are able to continue to provide diverse, well equipped and well trained fire suppression and related services to the residents and visitors of Branch Township and beyond. We are very proud of this statement as many volunteer companies across our state and our nation are in a completely opposite position.”  said John R Bushar, Fire CompanyPresident.

Originally chartered in 1908, the Good Intent Hose Company of Llewellyn has been continually serving the residents of Branch Township and beyond for 111 years. The Company has grown substantially and now operates seven pieces of apparatus with thirty active firefighters supported by a diverse auxiliary organization and many support members.
