Firefighters attempt to control the vicious blaze in downtown Blairsden that destroyed Gumba’s Restaurant and the Village Baker on September 15th.
Gumba’s restaurant and the Village Baker in Blairsden were totally destroyed by fire in the early morning hours of the 15th of September of this year. The community is still in shock. We are all just realizing what the loss means to the general population and especially to the employees who have just lost their livelihood.
Gumba’s management has always been a supporter of community fund raising activities. White Sulphur Springs Ranch (WSSR) was scheduled to share a portion of the restaurant’s income on the 20th of September. Because of this tragic fire WSSR and contributing local business are going to offer a way to pay back previous years of generosity by sponsoring a fundraiser to benefit all the victims. It will be held at the Graeagle Fire Hall on Sunday, October 15. Event organizer Tim Buckhout has arranged for a ranch style barbeque dinner, complete with all the trimmings, including music and a silent auction, on Sunday October 15th at 7620 Highway 89 in downtown Graeagle.
The hours are from 3:00 pm to 8;00 pm and the tickets are available online only at WhiteSulphurSpringsRanch.com. The ticket price for adults is $50. Kids under 12 can attend for $25. Call Tim at 925-321-3354 for any questions.
