Peotone American Legion Post 392, the Peotone American Legion Auxiliary, and the Manhattan/Peotone Consolidated Fire Protection District will co-host the 75th Anniversary Turkey Raffle at the Peotone American Legion Post Hall on Friday, November 17, from 4:30 – 9 p.m. This event had a one-year hiatus in 2022 and is making a come-back this year.
The November Peotone American Legion fish fry also has been moved to coordinate efforts in having one fish fry in November at the turkey raffle. Food will be served from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. and includes ocean perch or catfish, with coleslaw and fries for $15 and/or a hot dog and fries for $5. The auxiliary also will have delicious desserts available for purchase at $2 each. Draft eight-ounce beers are $2 each, along with other beverages available from the Legion Lounge.
The turkey raffle begins at 5 p.m. and runs to approximately 9 p.m., featuring both large and small turkeys. A basket raffle/auction also is part of the evening’s activities. This fundraiser benefits all three organizations, so come out and have some fun on November 17.
