VFW celebrates St. Patrick’s Day

ALPENA, Mich. — Corned beef, cabbage and carrots was the smell coming from the VFW kitchen this afternoon.  In the bar area some early attendees were getting a jump start on enjoying green beer.

Today took on different meanings depending on who you asked.  For Lounge Manager Paul Prevost celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is a way of bringing together the community.  Aggie Ferguson said the day is important to her because her grandparents came from Ireland and she spent 12 years in Catholic School.  As for Mitchell Cousineau, St. Patrick’s day is when he remembers many veterans.

If you missed today’s meal, don’t fret, the VFW will be serving this same dish on Saturday, March 20, from 1-7 p.m. For more information on dining in or take-out, you can contact the VFW at 989-340-0385.
