Members of the Versailles Lions Club will be up early Saturday morning
getting their chickens on the grill. This is the 44th year the Lions
have held their famous chicken barbecue. They will be serving quarter
chicken dinners from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on the square.
The classic cars will be rolling in throughout the day for the 12th
Annual American Legion Post #173 car show.
The square will be a bustle of activity with music being played
that might transport you back to the time some of the cars were
made. It’s a great family fun event that allows you to participate
or be a spectator. |
