A GoFundMe campaign has been launched for owners of a local food bus business which was lost to fire over the holiday weekend.
The Bonnie & Clyde’s bus was destroyed by a blaze on the night of July 1.
The multi-coloured double-decker bus had been a familiar sight at various events around the Battlefords area. Most recently, it was set up for customers at an event held over the holiday weekend near Lone Star Hotel along Highway 16.
There is no official word yet on the cause of the blaze, but the bus was totally gutted with only a portion remaining intact.
The GoFundMe page was created by Vanessa Lafleur with a goal of raising $50,000 to support the owners’ family, which includes seven kids and two grandkids. The goal is to help them recover the cost loss and purchase another food unit.
The site also notes the bus only had liability and content insurance; the bus itself was not covered. The page is in its early stages, with $100 Versionbeing pledged as of Wednesday afternoon.
