Event Description:
The event is a fund raiser for the Vethouse. It is a Potato Bake that is usually done each year. This year we are adding the pinning to the event. We plan on having a band or DJ to play music and bicentennial music during the time of presentation. We will also have games such as corn hole and other activates for the families. We are also decorating the area (inside and out) in red, white and Blue) and have a stage in order to present the pins to Veterans in from of family and c community. Business community is going to be present and we hope this offers an opportunity for some homeless Veterans to receive tips on employments. The community is involved in hopes to add value to the Vethouse and their participants. The Community leaders are invited so, they become educated in what the Vethouse does and the value it adds to the community as well as
