Wakefield - The Wakefield Veteran's of Foreign Wars held a breakfast buffet on Sunday morning.
Attendees enjoyed an array of breakfast foods including biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash, fried potatoes, sausage, eggs, breakfast burritos, coffee and juice, and a desert table. "It's been a busy day." said Volunteer Marsha Jurakovich, "People are very generous."
The annual event helps to raise funds for the VFW. There is also a raffle held to raise funds for the scholarships, which are distributed to Wakefield-Marenisco students at the end of the school year.
All those who bought a breakfast were given a complimentary 50/50 raffle ticket, with more available for purchase.
"There are three scholarships from the axillary VFW that go to the local high school." said volunteer Carole Lillar. "The scholarships aren't for a lot, but if we can even help out with buying books, any little bit helps." The scholarships are awarded in May.
The breakfast has been going on for years and is a favorite among locals. "It's a good way to promote the VFW and get our name out into the community, and people really enjoy the breakfast." said Lillar.
