With the NFL games beginning at 10 a.m., and the CFL championship at 3 p.m., people could make a day of it, Legion treasurer Laura Kline noted.
鈥淚t was good,鈥� Kline said, though turnout could have been better.
鈥漌e had pools, we had door prizes, [but] we鈥檙e still working on getting our crowds up.鈥�
Beer prices at the legion are believed to be the lowest along that stretch of Fraser Highway, Kline confirmed.
The kitchen was open all day, and there was an opportunity to win swag.
Up next on the big screen at the legion will be Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 11.
The branch also hosts NASCAR events.
