Clambake 2014!!!

Hello everyone.
Recently on the 16th, the Legion post I belong to hosted a clambake ran by the SAL (Sons of the American Legion) and it was fun!!! Every year the SAL have this fundraiser to raise money to pay bills and give money to a variety of charities that all three organization within the American Legion support.

Everything starts the night before bagging clams (which I stopped doing) and more preparing the foods and other things for Saturday. On the day of, the grills are set up and the beer truck is getting ready. Tables and chairs I think are done the day before. People are allowed to put up a tent to reserve a table. And as 1pm gets close the line forms and the food is getting heated.

The doors open at 1pm and I help at the entrance with my aunt. She can't do math so I am in charge of stamping hands, giving out the door prize tickets, and proofing those who look to young to drink. Once you go past us then you can go get your food and drink and listen to the live band and have fun until 5pm. Once it is over clean up begins and it goes fast. I love it!!!

It is always fun to see my Legion family and catch up on things and just pick up where the year before ended. I don't have any photos because  I was so busy running around between the table and going to Shoprite :/   idk anymore what to say. I can't wait until 2015 clambake and I will be able to drink!!! But I wont because I am a responsible adult!!!

Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon!

Been Too Long!

Hey y'all...
 I am sorry for the long absence. I have been busy with work and looking for a new job. I hope all is well. My life over the past month has been boring really. I am going to post something about a clambake that I recently worked at and what other American Legion functions I will be attending.

I know that it is back to school season and I hope that everyone whether you have started already or getting ready, have a great school year and let it have many adventures and full of fun.
