WAKEENEY — The Trego County community will come together this month to help raise money for the Trego County Rural Fire Department.

On Friday afternoon, the department lost its WaKeeney fire station in a fire that left the building a total loss.

From 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, there will be a community-wide baked potato bar at the Trego County Hospital’s Hamilton Room. Freewill donations will be accepted, with all proceeds benefiting the fire department.

The event is sponsored by Trego County-Lemke Memorial Hospital. For more information, visit click HERE or call (785) 743-2182.
