Cronin Brothers VFW
hosts vendor market at the Railsplitter
W
ith the Abraham Lincoln National
Railsplitting Festival moving to
two locations on Fifth Street near to the
Cronin Brothers VFW, the VFW became
a part of the offering this year with a
Vendor Market held inside Freedom Hall
and outside the building as well.
There were a few vendors who took
advantage of what turned out to be a
mild, partly sunny day, to set up outside.
Among those was the Robert E. Graue
Detachment of the Marine Corp. The
local group was collecting Toys for Tots,
a give-away event that will be held closer
to Christmas. They were also holding a
raffle, again for Toys for Tots. The big
prize was a gas grill, with dollars earned
going to make necessary purchases
in conjunction with the annual giving
event. That was also the tent to visit for
some great food. Volunteers from the
detachment were getting busy cooking
up chops for sandwiches to be sold
throughout the day.
