Carson City Elks grilling demonstration by Chef Sparky raises money for vets
On Saturday, July 6 the Carson City Elks Lodge No. 2177 held a Veteran’s fundraiser grilling demonstration with Chef Sparky. Al Bergstrom, Elks officer and a veteran, chaired the event. Sean “Sparky” Walsh of 9 Dots Creative Kitchens, also a veteran, donated his time when presenting his skills and tips on how to grill various meats successfully. Donations were accepted for our area veterans programs.
The Veteran fund goes toward various veteran activities such as donations to the Veteran’s Guest House in Reno, buying holiday wreaths to lay on veterans graves at Lone Mountain Cemetery, the annual Veteran women’s baby shower, veteran’s wheel chair program and more.
Every veteran got a “thank you for your service” card from the Elks and potato salad and watermelon was served with the demonstration meat cooked up by Chef Sparky.
