MO Conservation and American Legion Host Veterans Fishing Day

MO Conservation and American Legion Host Veterans Fishing Day
Bloomfield, Missouri – The American Legion knows how to throw a fish fry! 

On Friday, October 5, 2018 the American Legion along with the Missouri Department of Conservation held their Fishing Day for Veterans.

Men and women from the Veterans Home in Cape Girardeau and the VA Hospital in Poplar Bluff along with a few from other locations and descended on the pond at the Bloomfield Veterans Cemetery on a beautiful, but hot October morning.  They enjoyed the day fishing, telling tall tales, and of course a king size fish fry afterwards.

Many volunteers from the American Legion and the Lady’s Auxiliary helped reel in those big ‘cats’!  Veterans dipped their fishing poles into the beautiful blue water, caught their fish, and then the Missouri Department of Conservation gutted and cleaned their freshly caught fish.

Once cleaned and breaded, volunteers deep fried the delicious fillets.  There was a multitude of fresh baked pies, cakes and desserts lining the tables with freshly prepared french fries, hushpuppies, slaw, pickles, onions, and beans.

After working up quite the appetite, the veterans wanted nothing more than to devour their catch of the day!!

The Kenady-Hanks American Legion Post #59 hosts two Veteran Fishing Days.  One in the spring and one in the fall.  Other volunteers who make this event possible are the Missouri Veterans Cemetery, Missouri State Veterans Home, Missouri Department of Conservation, and the American Legion Lady’s Auxiliary.  Without the tremendous help from these volunteers, this event would not be successful.

If you would like more information about the bi-annual fishing day or if you are interested in joining the American Legion please join them for their monthly meetings beginning at 6:00 p.m. each first Thursday of the month.  They also host a DANCE on Monday evenings!!!
