"Piggies" sell out again at the fundraiser.

BLAKELY, Pa. — A VFW in part of Lackawanna County hosted a dinner fundraiser Sunday afternoon.

The Shopa Davey VFW Post 6082 dished up pigs in the blanket at the spot along Electric Street in Blakely.

They sold 500 take-out dinners for 11 dollars each at the fundraiser, complete with mashed potatoes and corn.

Volunteers say it takes days to prepare all the food but all the hard work is worth it in the end.

"The community has been fantastic! We do a lot for the community and they do a lot for us! and we can't thank them enough. Without them, we wouldn't survive," said VFW POST 6082 Commander, Peter Puhalla Sr.

Organizers say the community has been even more supportive than usual throughout the pandemic, selling out the last three events here in Lackawanna County.

Television shows, commercials and movies have depicted parents begging their kids to eat their broccoli — the camera panning to an unappetizing pile of waterlogged, steamed florets. Gone are the days of broccoli being relegated to an obligatory side dish. When prepared in countless delightful ways, broccoli is far more than a supporting character with nutritional value. When treated right, broccoli can be the star of the whole show. When shopping for broccoli, look for crowns that are bright green and have firm stems.
