Annual cherry pie luncheon to benefit girls state

Posted

The American Legion Auxiliary Cherry Pie Luncheon was started in 1968 as a fundraiser to send local girls to Wyoming Girls State, and it has been an annual event in Powell ever since.

Both eat-in and take-out lunches are offered. The luncheon will be held at the American Legion Hall, 143 S Clark St. in Powell, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 17.

The luncheon includes a choice of ham, chicken, tuna, cheesy ham hashbrown or chicken and stuffing casserole, fresh tossed salad, homemade dinner roll and of course, a slice of homemade cherry pie.  For those eating-in, there will also be coffee, tea and lemonade. Your lunch ticket enters you to win door prizes. The price is $10 per person. Cash, check or credit card payment accepted. Donations are welcome.

Get your ticket in advance from an Auxiliary member, call-in your take-out order at 307-254-1357, or just stop by. Proceeds support Wyoming Girls State delegates and veterans’ affairs.

Girls State is a week-long session in Cheyenne that helps girls learn leadership and social skills with an emphasis on government. It is open to girls who will be completing their junior year of high school, including those who are home schooled.
