The local veterans groups – VFW, American Legion, and VFW auxiliary – are selling by silent auction military service fleece blankets and a flag quilt made and donated by Cathy Hammel. “These are warm, beautiful, and soft; the perfect gift for the person who values military service and country,” a spokesperson said.
Bids may be placed at the east entrance of the courthouse now through June 11. The winners will be announced on June 13.
All proceeds will directly benefit the VFW building fund. To personally view the auction items at the VFW building or for more information, please contact Don Ihnken at 515-370-3140 or Kenny Arbuckle at 515-391-1301.
