Evan’s Chow Hall Opens at VFW Post 1002

The Lawton-Silva Post 1002 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Evan’s Chow Hall at 6 p.m. Friday, March 6, marking the official opening of its new dining facility. Community members, local officials, and VFW representatives gathered to celebrate the addition, which aims to provide a welcoming space for veterans and residents alike.

Commander John Henry, Quartermaster Mac McKenzie, and members of the Fallon Chamber of Commerce attended the event, underscoring the chow hall's significance to the local organization. The ceremony highlighted the collaborative efforts behind the project, with special recognition given to Miss Margie, a local philanthropist, for her contributions to the construction, and Mayor Ken Teford and the City of Fallon for their assistance in upgrading the gas line.

Evan’s Chow Hall features a Rations Menu with classic bar fare, including starters, pizza, and basket dinners such as hot dogs, chicken tenders, wings, and grilled cheese. A house specialty, fried green beans, offers a unique twist for patrons. Regular hours are Thursday through Sunday, from 6 p.m. to close.

The addition of Evan’s Chow Hall is expected to enhance the VFW’s community engagement and provide a new gathering place for veterans, families, and residents in Fallon.
