The events begin on Friday night with the Brooten Fire Department Relief Association's annual Chicken BBQ Dinner at the City Park, 5-8pm. The cost is $7 for 1/4 of a chicken and $8.50 for 1/2 of a chicken. The B-B-E Community Band will be playing during the chicken feed.

At 8:30, a free Street Dance, sponsored by Fauskee Oil & RJ's Mini Mart, featuring "Dee Jay Sounds" will close out Day 1 of Bonanza Valley Days.

The men's softball continues at 8:00am at the City Park. City-wide garage sales begin at 7:00am. Maps are available at various sites.

On Saturday night at 7:00, the Miss Brooten Pageant will take place at the B-B-E elementary school, with the theme being "Surfin' the Night Away". Tickets are $3 for adults and $2 for students. Children 5 and under are free.
