This event is a fundraiser to benefit our veterans. It will allow the VFW to assit with emergencies, medical equipment, medical assistance and more. This event is free to all veterans, there is a $5.00 entrance fee for all non-vetrans and kids 5 and under are free to attend. Please join us! Hope to see you there.  

 Just a heads up. To those Marines and families that were exposed to toxic water at Camp Lejeune please consult a Veteran Service Officer to file a claim. The attorneys that are advertising on every media channel will get 40% of any claim that you are awarded. A VSO will get the same claim for nothing. If you need legal afterwards then okay. But consult a VSO first.
