THE ELKS CELEBRATES LOCAL VETERANS
It was a packed house at last night’s Elks Veteran Outing banquet, even though the weather cancelled the golf portion of the day.
Veterans and their spouses were greeted near the club entrance with flying flags from each of the military branches. (Provided by Allan and Kim Grossnicklaus)
They enjoyed a hearty banquet with Cargill steaks grilled by Jim Morris and company; a delicious assortment of sides and homemade apple pie made by Elk’s Chef Karen Jones and served. Y our friendly staff; and they were treated to a large assortment of raffle prizes.
