OXFORD – The dining hall at the Fort Hill American Legion has been bedecked by the Auxiliary Unit 376.

Please come in on a Sunday morning and enjoy a tasty, all-you-can-eat breakfast in this festive décor; it will be extra special as there will be very important guest visitors from the North Pole.


The Christmas tree is up and sparkling. Garlands and wreaths and other holiday décor will serve as a perfect backdrop for special visitors: Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with a couple of their elves, who are coming to the Post home on Sunday, December 17, at 8:30 a.m. Little ones can have an up-close moment with Santa to reveal their secret wishes for presents that they would like to see under the tree. Parents should be prepared with their cameras for this memorable photo opportunity. 


ALA Unit 376 president Louise Spicer said, “Mr. and Mrs. Claus are coming to town with a couple of elves; kids bring your lists, Santa will check it twice...” 


The whole family will enjoy this all-you-can-eat breakfast served from 7:30 until 11:00 a.m. You can get: pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, home fries, French toast, OJ and tea/coffee/hot chocolate. In addition, the third Sunday Special is sausage gravy and biscuits. Real maple syrup is available upon request. Breakfast cost is: Adults $9; Sr Citizens and Firemen $8; Children 6 to 12 years $7; Ages 2 to 5 years $2. Children under 2 yrs, volunteers, and reorders are FREE! ($10 for take-outs.) 


Post 376 is collecting non-perishable food donations both upstairs and down at the bar. If you can, please contribute. 


Upcoming on Friday, Dec. 22, 7 – 10 pm, is the 2nd annual Ugly Sweater Contest. There will be prizes and the jukebox will be free, but this event is for the grown-ups only.
