It’s a night of celebration in Bayard tonight.

The Bayard Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting a free will donation soup supper from 4:30pm to 7pm. The meal is going to be in the Bayard Community Center, and from 5pm-6pm Santa Claus will be visiting to hear from all the children.

There will also be a raffle for a $1,000 gift card to Sommerfeld Outfitters. Tickets can be purchased from any of the Bayard firefighters. The winning ticket will be drawn at 6:45pm, and proceeds from the raffle and free will donations will be used to update fire fighting equipment.
