BIG VALLEY BULLETIN -- Another Big Valley Fire Department Ball Tournament has come and gone, and as always Captain Chanse Stefanik (and his beautiful bride) have done a fantastic job with organizing this event. A big thank you to the village residents and the ball teams for their support and participation. Money raised from this fundraiser goes toward special projects, such as the thermal imaging camera and extrication equipment. This community is so generous and we work hard to be sure you get the most bang for your buck. Thank you again for your support and generosity. And thank you to all of the spouses for their hard work and their support!.
