After months of planning by a committee of volunteers, the Laurel Fire Company block party will take place on Saturday.

The event will run from 2 to 10 p.m. and will offer children's games, refreshment stands, vendors, music and a basket raffle, along with crafters and an additional prize raffle.

Musical entertainment will be provided by the Birds of Prey in the afternoon and The Large Flowerheads in the evening.

This year's raffle prizes include a patio set, a Kindle Fire, a $250 gas card, a barbecue grill and a Kornfeinds meat special.
