Letter to Editor:
At a recently held Ely American Legion Post meeting, its members agreed to pursue the purchase of a food trailer. The food trailer would be used to prepare and sell brats, burgers, chicken wings and other foods, while events, such as the July Fourth Parade, the Blueberry/Art Festival, the Walleye Whamma and the Fun Run are held in Ely, Babbitt, Tower and other nearby communities.
American Legion Post 248, Lozar-Mrace-Loushin, is a 501(c)(19) veteran’s organization based in Ely. It was organized and has been in existence since October 6, 1919. Steve Saari serves as the Commander, Gerald M. Tyler serves as the Post Adjutant and Eric Mayranen serves as the Vice Commander and Chaplain. Its members meet monthly in its meeting room in the Ely City Hall. Our membership today is about 105.
