It's become an end-of-summer tradition in Saline. The Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 310 held their 22nd Annual Pig Roast Dinner at the Saline American Legion Post 322 on Saturday.
The Saline Post was there early in the event.
"It's a great event and it's as busy as we've seen it. We're hoping to sell 400 dinners for these guys today," said Eric Engelmeier, Post Commander of the Legion.
The event took place between noon at 5 p.m.
Proceeds from the annual event raise funds for VVA 310 to care for the County Vietnam Veterans Memorial, host events for local hospitalized vets, provide Thanksgiving dinners for residents of Dawn Farms, and more.

The volunteers who served many pork roast meals Saturday.

John Kinzinger, Royal Hall, Barry Bourne and Robert Bull sell tickets for the dinner at the Saline American Legion.

Tim Driscoll joins the group a bit later in the event.

Kids were given the chance to get their faces decorated.

Tim Driscoll is well known in Saline for his work at Memorial Day events.

These folks made sure nobody got too thirsty.

Whitmer is simply wrong on this one. The data centers are neither a benefit nor desired by local residents. That should be all that needs to be said. Two people/entities will benefit - the landowner receiving the windfall payment and DTE. The rest of us will pay a very heavy and undesired price for their gains.
Sunny, with a high of 26 and low of 4 degrees. Sunny during the morning, cloudy during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Improve rates? Improve for who?
Please, someone explain how saline rates are so much higher than surrounding areas.
Because we have a dysfunctional city Government! That’s why.
Just one of the MANY family events the Recreation Center provides! When he is not hosting as Santa, this wonderful gentleman is also a fabulous adult water aerobics instructor and teaches swim lessons to the kiddos.
Wow! Just got an email saying my post pointing out that the Santa event is one of many family activities at the Rec Center and that the gentleman who hosts as Santa also teaches water aerobics and kid swim classes is flagged as offensive. Guess compliments and enthusiasm are not welcome at the Saline Post?
