While there’s Eaton Days, Severance Days, Evans Heritage Day and Kersey Days, over in the town of Milliken, community members are preparing for their annual time honored celebration of Beef n’ Bean Day on Saturday, Aug. 13 in downtown. The community of Milliken has been celebrating its rich agricultural history since 1924, when the town’s first event took place. Beef n’ Bean Day typically takes place the second Saturday in August and includes a parade, vendors, live music, fireworks, games for all ages and more. The Milliken Events Committee, an all-volunteer group of citizens, business owners and leaders who work together to bring a variety of events and activities to the town, organizes the event. “It is an annual event that seems to have gained momentum. I’ve lived in Milliken for almost 12 years now and it’s gotten better every year,” said Stephanie Baudhuin, committee member. “There’s activities for all ages and all walks of life. There are food competitions, a lot of small business that will be vendors there and lots of activities for the kids. That’s a huge focus of ours — making sure the kids are going to have fun.” People of all ages are invited to come celebrate Milliken’s Beef n’ Bean Day on Aug. 13 with a barbecue, horseshoe competition, cornhole games, a parade and more.

This year’s honorees include:
Wakeman was born and raised in the Milliken area and follows in her family’s footsteps of being honored at the annual event. Wakeman’s grandfather and parents were honored during previous celebrations. “The first population sign I remember said it was a population of 250 people and I think we are around 9,000 now. It’s tremendous to see that much growth in our area,” Wakeman said. “Every community enjoys a time to be able to just relish in what your community is and what it brings to the folks that live there. And, this is really a special time to honor the traditions and values that I’ve grown up with.” (Milliken Police Department via Facebook/For Greeley Tribune) A Milliken Police patrol vehicle sits outside the department.

From there, things will get rolling at a pancake breakfast at Front Range Fire House, 101 S. Irene Ave. The parade is set to step off at 10 a.m. in downtown. The parade will begin at Marjorie, heading north to Broad Street. From there, entries will head east on Broad Street toward Alice and end at the parking lot at Traders Junction, 301 Centennial Drive. The Kids Q will pit junior chefs against each other to see who has the best burger-making skills. The town will be providing the hamburger and supplies, while youngsters will be providing their own recipes and inspiration. The first place winner in the Kids Q will receive $100, while second place will get $75 and third place will receive $50. This year’s line-up of junior chefs is:
Along with the junior chefs, the event will be hosting a Backyard Barbecue Competition for teams of adults. Teams will have to cook two pork butts provided to each team by the town and turn in three money cuts. Teams can compete in one of two categories, semi-professional or aspiring professional, for a chance to win $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place and $500 for third place. The town of Milliken has seen large amounts of growth since the 1990s and is a relatively young community compared to the rest of Weld County and Colorado.

As in the pork butt competition, grillers have the opportunity to take home $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place and $500 for third place. And of course, it wouldn’t be Beef n’ Bean Day without the beans. Folks that think they have the best bean recipe can enter their dish into the Bean Contest. Participants in the bean contest will have the opportunity to win $200 for first place, $175 for second place or $100 for third place. Registration is required for the Backyard Barbecue, Steak Competition and Bean Competition and can be done by going to www.millikenevents.com. Folks looking to exercise their competitive skills and earn some cool prizes can sign up for the event’s horseshoe and cornhole tournaments. Entry into the horseshoe competition is $20 per team and $50 per team for the cornhole competition.

Throughout the day, attendees are invited to peruse vendor booths, listen to live music and meet some of the organizers of the annual event. The Milliken Dinner begins at 4 p.m. at the Thompson Rivers Parks and Recreation District, 320 Centennial Drive. Attendees of all ages are invited to come and enjoy pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad and coleslaw. Admission is $12 for guests ages 13 and older and $8 for kids ages 12 and younger. Festivities will wrap up at 9 p.m. with fireworks. On Sunday, people of all ages are invited to attend Worship in the Park at 9:30 a.m. at Lola Park, located on Forest Street between Irene and Josephine avenues. Attendees should bring chairs or blankets to sit on and a picnic breakfast. “It’s a chance for the town to get together, but also bring in other people from around Colorado and other communities,” Baudhuin added. “Milliken is called the hub of northern Colorado and there’s a lot of new developments around town, business-wise. I think we are kind of poised to be recognized as being a great place to live.” For more information, go to https://bit.ly/3d8yUpG. |
