Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First

VFW St Patty's dinner and dance a raging success

Although the local VFW post had been declining for the past several years,an influx of new members with fresh ideas has rejuvenated the Post.

Last Friday, the VFW held a Saint Patrick's Day dinner and dance at the Kimball Event Center with hopes of breaking even, those hopes where shattered when over one hundred people of all ages showed up to enjoy the festivites.

According to Post Commander Andy Bremer, they had 57 pounds of corned beef and fixings which ran out within the first hour. It was a rousing success, he stated that, "We are absolutely doing this again next year!"

Brian Howard, the Post Quartermaster stated they they raised close to $3,000. "We were able to show a profit that will enable us to assist veterans and be more active in the community in the future."
