Lodge Activities
The Lodge sponsors a number of events each year for the enjoyment of its Members and raise money to serve the community. We draw a great deal of pleasure from watching everyone enjoy themselves at the same time we are helping fulfill our commitment of helping those less fortunate. Always keeping in mind Elks Care and Elks Share. The following are just a fee of the many functions held at the Lodge. Keep an eye on our calendar to see what coming up next!
Parrot Head Party
The annual Parrot Head Party is our biggest fundraiser of the year, with an attendance of 115-125. Tommy Rocker and the Conched Out Band with Mike O'Brian of STAR 102.7 providing the entertainment. This is a Jimmy Buffett themed party with everyone having a fantastic time. As always cheese burgers and fries, nachos and Bill Wiseman's homemade Andouille sausage, shrimp and chicken Gumbo is served. The roux and Andouille sausage are shipped in from Louisiana for this occasion. This event always has great door prizes and raffles. See the Lodge calendar for the next scheduled event.
Pig Roast
The annual State Major Project Pig Roast and calling of the Blue Pigs draws 110-120 each year. Sometimes referred to as "Pig Smokers In Paradise".
