Like every year the dates for this event fall on the second weekend of June. For this year (2008) the dates are June 13th and 14th. There will be games for adults, children, and even the famous BIG RAFFLE will take place. The Beer Gardens will be in the back and both nights we will have great music presented to you by local bands. Location of the event is also in the same place as last year which is the Sunman Park. The park is located behind the Post Office.

The Sunman Rural Fire Department hopes that everyone will have a chance to come out this summer. We thank everyone for all of the support, if we didn’t have our community backing us up we would not be where we are at today……… THANKS AGAIN!!!!
