Good Times: The Legion, Two Bands and a Gun Raffle

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9

We went to the Fox Lake (Illinois) American Legion on US-12, right on Nippersink Lake for their annual Sons of the American Legion Gun Raffle, a major money-maker for the organization.  The place was packed, because along with the raffle and instant raffles, they had entertainment.

We saw the same group we had seen there last week, Tony & the Effects who always bring along a considerable crowd of their followers.  They play only 50s and 60s music and do it quite well.  I've never heard another local band do many of the songs they have in their repertoire (I had to look up how to spell this word).

They finished playing in the bar area at 6 and then a group named the Loony Tunes played 60s and 70s classic rock in the banquet room.

We met friends Glen and Barb there, whom we had had a fish fry with yesterday at the Diamond Deli in Fox Lake.

Any day with two good bands is a pretty good day.

As usual, I didn't win a gun.  I don't know what I would do with one if I did.

Afterwards, we went over to Stucky's.

Oh, Well.  --RoadDog
