It's one of the tastiest days of the year in the Stateline, it's the Alpine Kiwanis Brat Days.

Three locations around the area are grilling up thousands of brats, including at the Logli's in Loves Park, where the world's largest grill, the Big Taste Grill is churning out brat after brat at a rate of 2,500 brats per hour.

The Brat Days event is a fundraiser the Kiwanis Club holds every year to raise money for local non-profits and that's what motivates one volunteer who says he's been doing this for nearly 40 years.  "It's a tremendous feeling" says Randy Larson.  "It's a feeling of serving.  It's a feeling of being a member of a team that really I think makes a huge difference in our community.  I'm proud to be a Kiwani."

The group is trying to raise $100,000.  The brats are being served until 8pm tonight and again tomorrow from 11am- 5pm.
