The All Vets Club in Jamestown will convene a day-long Veterans Day observance on Tuesday, Nov. 11, beginning at 7:30 a.m. and running through evening events. The program combines free and donation-based meals, family-oriented activities and formal ceremonial elements organized by local veterans’ groups and service clubs.
The day opens at 7:30 a.m. with a free-will pancake, sausage and egg breakfast served by the Jamestown Sertoma Club, alongside a VFW Auxiliary bake sale. A free soup buffet is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. and will continue until the food is gone. Family bingo is set to follow at 11:30 a.m., offering a daytime activity intended to involve multiple generations of local residents.
Evening observances will emphasize ceremonial commemoration. At 5:30 p.m. the Jamestown Drum & Bugle Corps will perform, followed by a POW-MIA ceremony led by American Legion Post 14. A celebration banquet at 6:15 p.m. will have a birthday theme honoring the 250th anniversaries of the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps; the banquet is free for all veterans. The evening will conclude with presentation of honor quilts and door prizes.
Several local institutions are central to the event’s organization and delivery: the All Vets Club as host, the Jamestown Sertoma Club handling the morning meal, the VFW Auxiliary with the bake sale, the Jamestown Drum & Bugle Corps providing musical performance, and American Legion Post 14 conducting the POW-MIA ceremony. The collaboration illustrates reliance on volunteer-run civic organizations to coordinate commemorative programming and community services on Veterans Day.
For Stutsman County residents, the event serves multiple functions. It offers direct material support to veterans through complimentary meals and social interaction, bolsters intergenerational civic engagement through family activities and public ceremony, and provides visible recognition of military service at a time when national institutions mark a semiquincentennial milestone. Such local programming can supplement—but does not replace—formal veterans’ services, highlighting the continuing need for accessible benefits, outreach and civic infrastructure that support veterans’ physical and social needs.
Organizers recommend residents seeking additional information contact the All Vets Club at 701-252-8994. The event represents a concentrated local effort to honor service, convene community members and keep Veterans Day visible in Jamestown’s civic life.
