Posted at 10:52 PM on Sunday, February 7, 2010 by Public Relations Officer
Farmington VFW Post 5896 had its Super Bowl Chili Cook-Off before the game and what a turnout for the event. Pictured above left to right are the winners; 1st Place Linda Weiss,
Pictured above is a rare behind the seen look at the Chili Cook-Off VFW Post Judges with the brutal task of tasting for a winner.
In the Post Club Room many members turned out to help eat the winning chili and bartender Chrysten Whaley appears to be quite happy maybe her tip glass is doing well on Super Bowl Sunday.

VFW at Missouri National Guard Briefing
Posted at 03:50 PM on Sunday, January 10, 2010 by Public Relations Officer
Dave Morgan Department of Missouri Commander (right) and Tony Carroll VFW Post 5896 Commander & National Aide-de-Camp (left) were honored to be invited and attended the Missouri National Guard benefit briefing at the Cape Girardeau and Farmington Missouri Armories over the weekend. This was an excellent opportunity to say thank you to these men and women for their service to this country and to explain what the Veterans of Foreign Wars is about. Commander Dave Morgan made it clear that the Veterans of Foreign Wars was here to help them with information, programs and to help them obtain their veteran benefits they are entitled too. "Veterans Helping Veterans"
Missouri Department Commander Dave Morgan talked with and signed-up MAJ Mike Hirtz to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Missouri National Guard members lined up to ask questions and look at the programs the VFW offers our troops. Dave Moran was pleased to talk with and shake the hand of every soldier there.
Department Commander Morgan and National Aire-de-Camp Carroll were more than glad to assist the soldiers with any questions and in the process signed up a total of 21 members to the Veterans of Foreign Wars this weekend.
State Commander Dave Morgan officially presented Post 5896 Commander Tony Carroll with his National Aire-de-Camp to the Commander-in-Chief hat at the National Guard Armory benefit briefing.

The Post Ladies Auxiliary made a superb dinner for the Post Christmas Party. We also had a surprise visit from Santa Claus at the party. Both children young and old can up to sit on Santa’s lap to tell him their Christmas list.





The Members and Officers of VFW Post 5896 wish everyone a safe enjoyable Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The grandchildren of Bill and Mary Jane Wulfers came to the Post Christmas Party in a horse drawn carriage, that is great!
