The Wilton American Legion will venture out into the world on Sunday with the return of its annual Father’s Day Chicken Q.
Although the bar and dining room will be open, patrons are urged to take carry-outs, said Post Commander Jerry Von Haden.
The Legion’s major sources of revenue dried up due to the pandemic, with the cancellation of the group’s monthly fish fries and hall rentals. Von Haden said bringing back both likely will be voted on at the next meeting.
A number of issues are involved. Legion members who work at these events tend to be older and fall into the most-vulnerable category. Additionally, there are liability concerns. Von Haden said he had not been able to get an answer from the Legion’s insurance company regarding whether it would cover the liability for anyone who contracts the virus while using Legion facilities.
Meanwhile, if you are tired of cooking and long for barbecue chicken, drop by the Legion on Sunday or call 435-6731 to reserve dinner for dad.
