With the holidays quickly approaching and the weather cooling down (hopefully soon) we thought now would be a great time to start to put together our community cookbook! 📖

Submitting a recipe is free! Just fill out the form below by Nov 1. (We will also get some paper forms out around town that can be mailed in.)

Once we have all the recipes gathered we’ll send them off the printers to have our very own Bethany Cookbook printed and available for purchase!

THANK YOU to everyone who came out this weekend. It was a hot one but we appreciate all the support and hope everyone enjoyed themselves!

I’d personally like to thank the Orris crew, Dylan, Andrew, the park staff, Kathy Doty and the queens,and the volunteers for always stepping up and going above and beyond for us when we need some help. Kaytie and I truly couldn’t do this without you. - Cassie

If you like what you see tonight during the fireworks make sure you drop a donation off to us to bring a bigger and better show again next year. We have donation buckets at the beer tent and we will have one at the entrance of the park on the north drive and one at the tball field. Also keep a eye out for the royalty girls walking through the park. They have a bucket too.
