Oorang Bang

The LaRue Community Alliance would like to thank all of our sponsors and donors that made the 2024 Oorang Bang festival possible and a big success. Thank you to all the community that came out to the event and participated in any way. Thank you to the LaRue Firefighters Association for their participation and help. Thank you to everyone that brought a car to the car show. Thank you to Cox’s Garden Tractors for a great tractor pull. Thank you to all that participated in our parade. A big thank you to those that volunteered to help, made baked goods, donated to the silent auction, watched over the Kids Zone, or helped with set up or tear down. Thank you to the great food vendors and craft vendors that come out and support our festival. The Oorang Bang is not possible without each and every one of you.
