🎶 Help Bring Great Music to the 2026 Oorang Bang Festival! 🎶

The La Rue Firefighters Association is excited to begin planning for the 2026 Oorang Bang Festival, happening June 12th & 13th, 2026—and we need YOUR help to make it unforgettable!

This year’s festival will be extra special as we celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the Village of La Rue and our nation’s 250th birthday. Live music has always been the heart of the Oorang Bang, bringing families together and creating the fun, hometown atmosphere everyone loves. In 2026, we’re planning an expanded music lineup to match this historic celebration.

To make that happen, we are asking for donations and sponsorships to help cover the costs of:
🎤 Live music acts
🎧 Stage, sound, and lighting
🎸 Entertainment expenses

The La Rue Firefighters Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all eligible contributions are tax-deductible. Sponsors and donors will be recognized through event signage, social media promotion, and announcements during the festival.

We’ve included sponsorship levels in the attached letter, with options to fit every budget—from “Friend of the Oorang Bang” all the way up to Stage Sponsors.

📅 To help us secure performers, we kindly ask for commitments by April 1, 2026 if possible.

If you’d like to support this great community tradition, please contact us at:
📧 [email protected]

Thank you for helping us keep the music playing and make the 2026 Oorang Bang a celebration to remember! 🎉
