Beast Feast in Oakland January 16th

January 7, 2016 1 Comment


“I promise this will be a meal you will never forget,” Kim Helzer says of the Beast Feast to be held in Oakland.

“The Beast Feast is at the city auditorium on Sat., Jan. 16th from 5:00-7:30 p.m.,” Kim stated.

If you enjoy dining on game feed, this is the place for you. “On the menu is alligator, bacon wrapped elk, bacon wrapped deer, barbecued beaver, pheasant, fish, deer sausage, goose sticks, duck with kraut and dumplings, leg of lamb, potato sausage, pork specialty hot dogs, dala dogs and mountain oysters,” Kim shared.

Side dishes will consist of scalloped corn, cole slaw, baked beans and rolls. Cold beverages will also be sold.

“Most items on the menu have been donated,” Kim said.

There are other items on the menu if game feed isn’t what you prefer. “There will be pork for sandwiches and potato sausage, among other things,” Kim stated.

The Oakland Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the event. Assisting Kim Helzer is Sue Beckner and Sandy Frahm. “Arlington game feed members, Mike Lowe, Ronnie (Bub) Johnson and Keith Marovec,” Kim stated.

“This is the main fundraiser for the Oakland Chamber of Commerce to gather funds to sponsor Oakland’s 150th celebration in 2018,” Kim said.

Tickets are available for $25 donation from Oakland Chamber of Commerce members or contact Kim Helzer at 402-380-8500.
