2009 VFW Anniversary Dance

The 2009 VFW Anniversary dance was a good time. There was lots of food, including ham, roast beef all the fixin's and a big cake for dessert. There were some individuals, very deserving of the awards in which they received...member of the year- good job Josh (picture above) (and thanks for the help in raising money for the Ride For Bridgette)! Non member of the year- Jimmy H has been very instrumental in helping with every event, he darn near lives there! LOL...George, the commander, was inducted into the VFW 9630 Hall of Fame...

The band played classic rock all night and the beer flowed from the spouts. The little boy, Randy, in the video was boogie'in all night. He was awarded the most patriotic person and was the youngest of all the award winners! haha! The night after, Sunday Nov.15, was the VFW annual chili cook-off. John, owner of Ethel's Tavern, won first place out of ten pots of chili. The Bengals won against Pittsburgh which topped off the entire weekend- not to mention UC. Looks like football fever is back in Cincinnati and it feels good! Thanks, until next time, happy Thanksgiving and God bless...

Thursday, December 31st, New Years Eve party/dance at the VFW if anyone is interested. $5 admission, bring your own booze or buy from the bar...

Halloween Party 2009

The Halloween party 2009 ended up being a really good time! The weather cooperated somewhat in that it didn't rain on us, but it sure was cold! We had a bonfire to help keep people warm outside, but we kept having to rotate because your butt would get cold after a while! LOL There were some really good costumes this year. We awarded small prizes and ribbons to Scariest, Funniest, Sexiest and Best Over-all costumes. I want to thank those who helped contribute to the party- Charmin for the pot of chili (which was delicious), Kelly for the cole-slaw (went great with the BBQ), Robby for the apple pie liquor (Yum!) and Teresa for all of the ice (kept the beer really cold-most important!LOL).

A good time was had by all! Holly made a birthday cake for Charmin and Natalie and it was so good with cream cheese icing Mmmm! I cooked up about 40 metts and brats on the grill and got eaten up. There weren't as many people at this year's party, only about half as many, but it seemed better in a lot of ways. We didn't post flyers at all the bars this year and plus the temperature was much colder than last year. We are debating whether to move the party to the VFW next year and get a DJ or band to play. Its just too cold outside and there is plenty of room in the VFW bar for 100+ people with close to party parking. Tell us what you think about this idea. Thanks to everyone who came out, hope y'all had a good time!
