Wallace Chaffee VFW Post 1679 Canteen offers a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere where members can avail themselves to a variety of activities like playing pool, throwing darts or a having a good ole game of Left Right Center, Cribbage, and 31.
Post members have access to a juke box that contains a variety of music and multiple flat screen televisions that show different types of programs.
