Representatives from Winneshiek County's fire departments were on hand Thursday night for an official ceremony to mark the end of fundraising efforts through the Winneshiek Bull Bash.  The event earlier this summer has raised at least $4,000.  Fire department representatives say they will make an announcement later this month about how the funds raised by the event will be used.
