The 23rd annual Sanford Health Taco Fest held last week raised nearly $30,000 for the United Way of Bemidji Area.

The event this year was sponsored by Lueken’s Village Foods and was an all-day event that kicked off the Lake Bemidji Dragon Boat Festival, where they sold fry bread tacos, drinks, and a dessert. Over 2,500 tacos were served over the course of the event.

The grand total, $29,681.70, was the most money the event has ever raised.
