WEST FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) — Hebron Brick Supply and Alsager Meats are teaming up again for the 2026 Honor Flight Picnic.

The event is set for Thursday, June 25, from 3 to 7 p.m. at Hebron Brick Supply in West Fargo.

The event is free to attend, with food from Alsager Meats, drinks from Brewtus’ Brickhouse, live music from “The 60s Guys” and a raffle with big-ticket prizes, including an electric golf cart and a Henry H10 Rifle.

Every dollar from raffle tickets and donations goes to Veterans Honor Flight of North Dakota and Minnesota, covering travel costs to send veterans to Washington, D.C. to see memorials built in their honor.

Last year, the picnic funded trips for 19 Fargo-Moorhead veterans. This year the goal is 30 or more.

Dan Berglind, senior regional manager at Hebron Brick Supply, said they are proud to champion the heroes who protect our freedom.

“We invite businesses and community members to join us and help make this vision a reality,” Berglind said.

Josh Alsager, owner of Alsager Meats, said great food brings people together, but it’s the shared purpose of supporting veterans that brings them together this June.

“Every meal served and every dollar raised at this picnic is a direct thank you to the brave men and women who served our country, and we are proud to be a part of this mission,” Alsager said.

Organizers are looking for sponsors and say raffle tickets are $10, available now at Hebron Brick in West Fargo, the Moorhead Legion, or at the event.

The official prize drawing will take place Aug. 8.
