Two traditions carry on

The American Legion Melvin Wester Post 412 of Belgium held its 18th annual Packer Tailgate Party at Five Pillars Supper Club on Sunday, and the Packers continued their dominance over the Chicago Bears with a 20-19 win in Soldier Field. Among those cheering on their team at the charity event were (above, from left) Hans Ehrlich, Kevin Krier, Jeff Cole, Trent Biersack, Pat Poole, Pam Dowling, Sean Stratton and Melody Ehrlich. At right were Parrish Williams, Chris Huenink, Josh Yanke and Jenna Bettinger. Checks were presented to multiple charities at halftime. Bucket and 50/50 raffles and football pools were among the activities.       Photos by Sam Arendt
