On July 18, St. Vincent de Paul will host its 7th Annual Steak Fry fundraiser at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. The proceeds will benefit its winter warming centers for clients seeking relief from the weather.
“When the weather drops below 25 degrees, that’s when we open the shelters,” said Barbara Smalley, Developmental Director. “It’s not that we don’t want to have them open all the time, but it costs.”
The fundraising event has been growing in attendance, and this year, she expects between 400 and 500 people.
“It’s a big event and popular. It’s in the midway area of the fairgrounds – it’s a nice North Idaho atmosphere,” she said. “It’s also a great outing for anyone with visitors from out of town.”
This year’s event will feature country music artists The Kelly Hughes Band, Colby Acuff and Justin Sherfey. “We’re very fortunate to have these great artists,” Smalley said. “Justin Sherfey is a top fiddler, and we’re glad he could be here with us this year.”
The steak fry dinner includes grilled steak, corn and bread, among other “fixin’s” to be prepared by pitmaster, Jeff Selle.
“People can come and relax. It’s a very happy atmosphere and a chance for people to get together,” Smalley said of the dinner and concert.
Tickets for the event are $25, or call for details on how you can sponsor a table. For more information, visit www.stvincentdepaulcda.org. The event will be at the fairgrounds located at 4056 N. Government Way in Coeur d’Alene from 5 to 10pm; dinner will be served until 7pm.
