Classic cars, chili, music to mark VFW fundraiser
Best wishes on this Memorial Day. Before you get to barbecuing, mark your calendars for a veterans event this Saturday.
VFW Post 8680 will host a fundraiser on June 4 to raise money for the planned Freedom Courtyard project. The event -- with entertainment, classic cars and a chili cook-off -- will take place at the VFW from noon to 11 p.m.
Local veterans and community members have been raising money for the Freedom Courtyard since November. When complete, the courtyard at Central Park will honor all branches of the armed forces and provide a space for residents to reflect on the service of veterans and current military personnel.
So far, organizers have raised about $31,000 for the courtyard. To help reach the $100,000 goal, the folks over at the VFW are throwing a big party. It's free to attend the event, which will offer plenty of activities seeking donations.
There will be a chili cook-off with a panel of local politicians as judges. To enter, a donation of $10 is requested. Cooks can arrive at 10 a.m. to prep; cooking starts at noon and ends at 3 p.m. Supervisor Janice Rutherford, Mayor Dennis Michael and council members Sam Spagnolo, Diane Williams and Bill Alexander will pick the top three finishers. To register or for more information about the cook-off, call Cora or Jack Peterson at 909-987-7276.
To register for the car and motorcycle show, call Richard Favela at 909-957-1418. A $10 donation is requested to enter.
The local VFW is on 8751 Industrial Lane.
