We would like to thank everyone who came out for our Pork & Sauerkraut dinner Friday night. Almost every plate had not a morsel left on it. Not the pork chops, the mashed potatoes and gravy, the sauerkraut and not any peas. Lots of good cookin' thanks to Sallie, Nola, & Pat.
Also, thank you to Pat McMahon for whipping up the big batch of potatoes for us, Clayton Farms for their good selection of red potatoes, and Sudlersville Meat Locker for their good selection of pork chops.
We will be having another Pork Chop dinner in October. Keep an eye out here on Facebook for details to come.
In the meantime, our August Steak dinner is right around the corner. We hope to see you.

After consideration of the 1st Friday falling on 4th of July weekend, we decided not to have Steak dinner this Friday, July 3rd.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you next month on August 7th.
Enjoy a fun, but safe 250th weekend of celebrating!

's Army Annual Blood Drive

01/17/2026

Today we, along with many in our local Legion family, assisted Operation We Care with the boxing of over 90 care packages being sent to members of our military across the globe.
It is a kind, selfless effort their organization makes to show our military they are thought of and to brighten someone's day.
If you aren't familiar with their organization, check out their website, operationwecare.org or their page to learn about them.
