Friday night, August 21st, 2020 the Jack Cross Memorial Classic Car Show made its 2nd annual appearance at Alma VFW Post 1454. Sponsored by Pat's Auto, Inc. from St. Louis, MI, this event drew in classic car collectors & enthusiasts alike. This year's event was well attended & our guests had a wonderful time enjoying live music, great food and a parking lot full of cool classic rides. VFW Post 1454 Members & Auxiliary would like to thank Pat's Auto, Inc. for another spectacular Jack Cross Memorial Classic Car Show event. We would like to extend a very special thank you to Pat Brennan, Mike Brennan and Dan Smith for their generous donation of $1,100.00 to our Post! And, thanks to every single one of our 50/50 raffle winners for donating their winnings back to our Post! WOW!! Our fundraising events have been limited this summer but our work continues thanks to the support & generosity of our Members, Auxiliary, our community, friends & loyal supporters. Here's a quick look at a few projects & improvements that have been accomplished this summer. Click HERE to read the news article & watch the video on our new roof.
