OXFORD – Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, but don’t fret, you need go no further than the Oxford Fort Hill Legion Post #376 to make your plans now. Saturday, February 14, from 8-11 p.m., the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Unit 376 will be sponsoring a Valentine’s Day dance. You do not have to be a member to attend; this fundraising event is open to the public. Professional music and lights will be provided by DJ Dennis and the 5 Minute Idols spinning the tunes with an emphasis on love songs. For the price of a ticket, guests are bound to have a sweet time either stag or with their honeys. The hall will be decorated with twinkling lights, red and pink streamers, and hearts galore! Aside from dancing, there will be basket raffles and a 50-50, and people will be able to ‘whet their whistle’ with a smorgasbord of delicious hors d’oeuvres, cakes and candies, and an open bar (beer, wine and well drinks). Show that ‘special someone’ how you feel with a fun evening of food, dancing, and more.
The evenings' celebration serves as one of the American Legion Auxiliary fundraisers to benefit the mission of the ALA. They focus their efforts on veterans, young people and Americanism in the community. They will be donating 20 percent of the proceeds to the historic Oxford Post 376 Building Fund.
Advance sale admission tickets (for age 21+) can be purchased at the Legion now for $20 per person. Admission at the door will be $25 pp. Tickets are available at the American Legion Post 376 bar, open from 3-9 p.m. daily. The Fort Hill post is located at 17 So. Washington Ave. (but for your convenience when buying tickets, use the Rte. 12 entrance).
