Meat Raffle

A regular activity sponsored by the VFW/Auxiliary is the Meat Raffle, held every Saturday afternoon from 2:00 ‑ 4:00 PM. During this activity, eight (8) packages of meat are raffled off, with the first number drawn winning a package of meat, the second number drawn winning pull‑tabs, and the third number drawn winning $3.00. This occurs for eight rounds, after which there may be two packs of (25) pull-tabs each, and a 50/50 raffle, with the winner awarded half of the money collected for that round. At the conclusion of the Meat Raffle, all non‑winning tickets are thrown together, and three thickets are drawn, the winners choosing from a $20, a $10, or a $5 bill.


The Auxiliary hosts the Meat Raffle the first & third Saturdays of each month; the VFW works the remaining Meat Raffles each month.


So come on down, enjoy the fun and camaraderie, and DON’T FORGET YOUR FRIENDLY BARTENDER!

Grandma was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she had done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good‑bye!" I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good‑bye.
