VFW to host Independence Day party

from staff reports



The Stephenson-Delauncey V.F.W. Post 79 will celebrate Independence Day along with their own 79th anniversary this Fourth of July.

The public is invited to attend the festivities, which will take place at the post location on Hwy. 80 W., just south of Meridian Community College. The celebration will begin at 10 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m., leaving time for patrons to enjoy the City of Meridian's fireworks show at Bonita Lakes.

Free hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, soft drinks, tea, and coffee will be served. A cake will also be served to celebrate the post's 75th anniversary. "Pickin' and Grinnin'" will be provided by Kelly and Company.

A V.F.W. recruiting booth will be set up for veterans and active personnel.
