A special evening of food, auctions and entertainment will benefit Honor Flight veterans.

Webster City High School will host a USO Show Friday night to celebrate all veterans and their service.

The event will begin with a supper at 5:30 p.m. served by the FFA. Porkburgers with all the sides are on the menu. Tickets for the supper are $5 per meal.

A silent auction is also planned, according to organizers. The auction will take place from 5:30 to at least 7 p.m. in the hallways of the school.

Entertainment will begin at 7 p.m. in the Prem Sahai Auditorium. The evening will feature comedy routines, skits, songs, dancing, interviews, the band, a fashion show and more. Much of the entertainment will focus on the 1940s and 1950s eras.

All proceeds will go toward the Honor Flights for veterans. A freewill donation will be taken for the entertainment.
