VFW

The Bothwell Foundation recently presented an automated external defibrillator (AED) to Veterans of Foreign Wars

This last Friday (Sept. 27), I was lucky enough to get to go out to the VFW in downtown Sedalia for our first Sip and Shop event! It was a total blast. Everyone there was so nice, and all the vendors were a delight.

The VFW Post 2591 held a Patriot Day Celebration at the Sedalia VFW last Sunday afternoon (Sept. 8). VFW Post Commander Larry Reven led the ceremony, recognizing veterans from the conflicts in Panama, Grenada, Kosovo, Bosnia, Desert Storm and the War on Terrorism.

Mark your calendars for the first annual after work sip and shop, presented by 4K Cheese and Wildlife Ridge Winery. On Friday, Sept. 27, join us at the VFW in downtown Sedalia from 3-8 p.m. for wine tasting, food sampling and booth shopping.  Find the perfect gift, a wine you love and the tasty bite that compliments it all.

Here's a look at some of the local ways people are celebrating Memorial Day.

May 8 is a significant day, although it may not be featured on every single calendar.  It is the anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, or V-E Day. This is the anniversary of the end of hostilities during World War II in Europe, which ceased in 1945. The Sedalia VFW recognized and thanked World War II veterans for their service today (May 8).
