HUNTINGDON (August 31) — Huntingdon Elks Lodge #2152 hosted an all-day open house Saturday, inviting the public to enjoy food, fellowship and fun activities while learning about the wide reach of the organization’s charitable efforts.
From noon through the evening, the event was family-friendly and included a free potluck lunch and fish fry dinner, face-painting, a bounce house, cornhole, horseshoes and other games and activities. Elroy the Elk, the club’s mascot, made an appearance to the delight of the kids.
Then, from late evening on, the kids were dismissed while the grown-ups enjoyed some adult time, including a concert by One Nyte Stand.
Throughout the day, guests could learn, through reading materials and conversations with members, about the extensive charity and community outreach that the Elks provide on a local, state and national level.
In an interview with The Banner, Lodge #2152 Exalted Ruler Alan Martin summed up the organization’s mission: “Anything we can do to help the community, especially kids and veterans.”
