FISH FRY AND CRAFT SHOW, PAWCATUCK VFW, Post 1265

160 South Broad Street, Pawcatuck, CT  06379

A really busy weekend is coming up for the Pawcatuck VFW. Last year they replaced the peaked parts of the VFW roof. They ran out of money for the flat roof. It is leaking. They have been doing Fish & Chips weekly since Lent started in an effort to raise enough funds to redo the roof and make  some necessary updates to the kitchen.
