The Chili Cook Off and Fall Festival was a big hit in 2018, thrilling the community, filling bellies, giving local businesses a platform to promote themselves, and raising money for two worth causes in our great community. A big part of that success is the triumphant return of the Freeburg beer bucket, which we sell at the Chili Cook Off with the option for refills of draft beer. For the last few years, we’ve offered the buckets with an imprint relating to the history of our community. 

In 2018, our bucket featured the antique pumper that has been a parade and display fixture of the Freeburg Fire Department. Once the buckets are sold, they are in private hands forever. The Fall Festival is the one and only place to get your hands on this beautiful, practical piece of Freeburg memorabilia that makes a one-of-a-kind addition to any home bar.

…or is it? 

This is your chance to get ahold of one of our commemorative beer buckets. We are giving away the last of our beer buckets on our Facebook account and our newly created Twitter account.
