Lots going on at the West Dundee VFW
It's getting to be quite busy at the West Dundee VFW.
The Tri-City Evergreen Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2298, invites you to stuff your face at its fish fry from 5 to 8 p.m. every Friday through May.
And don't forget, on Monday nights, the VFW has the Lightning game, which is a lot like bingo, but involves a smaller card.
Doors open at 6 p.m., and the game starts at 7 p.m. The post has a food special every Monday with a full menu. This event is open to the public.
One more thing.
On Friday, Nov. 2 and Saturday, Nov. 3, Post 2298 will hold its annual turkey raffle.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and the raffle starts at 7 p.m. All of the proceeds will go back to the VFW.
The post is on 117 S. First Street. in West Dundee.
