The Porter L. Rich American Legion Family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to those of you who donated food, to all who cooked, and to all who came and donated money to eat all of that awesome food. Also, a big thank you to all who donated the 61 silent auction items and to all the bidders. It's your generosity that made our 3rd Annual Wild Game Feed a success, raising over $5,000 for our Children & Youth Fund. Also, thank you to those who set it all up and who cleaned it all up. Again, thank you to all who make this a great community event each year; hope to see you all again next February.
