Look for the big chicken sign at the market! The Aurora Volunteer Fire Department will be on hand starting around 11:00AM to sell their delicious barbecued chicken halves. Halves are $6.00 each and advance reservations are highly recommended, as this is a popular local fundraiser – their chicken often sells out. Reservations can be sent via email to apbaurora@icloud.com (emails must be received by Friday evening) or by calling the firehouse after 7:00am on Saturday: 364-8590
