Kenton Elks Lodge #157 held its annual breakfast honoring local veterans on Saturday, November 7th with a total of 61 veterans, Elks, Blue Star Mothers, and friends in attendance. A delicious buffet meal was served by Julie Crowe, Vicki Miller, Kathy and Ken Hilty, and Beth Kramer.
The tables were beautifully decorated in a patriotic motif by Grace and Vic Dodds. Assisting at tables were John Hines and Hudson Davis.
The colors were presented by Troop 124 Boys Scouts of America under the direction of Jerry Haudenschield and Owen Haudenschield, as pianist Ellen Sheldon provided appropriate music.
Each veteran introduced himself/herself and gave their years of service. Vic Dodds read the poem “I am a Veteran” and remarks were made by Esteemed Leading Knight Kristin Grimshaw and Blue Star Mother Marilyn Trachsel.
The morning closed with a group picture of the veterans assembled.
