Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Golden Heart Post 3629 will host a horseshoe and ping pong tourney on July 27 at the post located in Graehl, at 324 2^nd Street. A full day of family-friendly activities are planned, including games for the kids and snacks throughout the afternoon. Sign-ups begin at 12:00 p.m., with an entry fee of $5.00 for each event.

BBQ food will be served up beginning at 4:00 p.m. and will feature delicious brisket, baked beans, cole slaw and rolls for $12.00. 12 and under are $6.00. To go boxes are available.
