VFW: Where’s the beef?

If you’re a beef lover and are wanting to find a place that serves it at a most reasonable price these days, well you will have to look no farther than the VFW Post 4174 in Lehigh Acres! Granted, an Arby’s has more varieties of the meat, but we have volunteer cooks who really put their ...

VFW: Thank a Vet

Before we go any further, I want to make it clear I am not saying to thank Fluffy’s doctor. While it is good manners to thank your pet’s doctor, the Vet I am referring to is the one who served in the United States Military at any given time! November 11th is Veteran’s Day and there are ...

VFW: You ‘Hadda’ be there!

If ever the word “labor” was taken seriously, it “hadda” be Saturday, Aug. 31, at the VFW Post 4174 in Lehigh Acres. We had many different people laboring to put together a rib cook off, complete with contests, laughter and a fantastic duo playing a great mixture of music. They all ...
