The Yorkville Knights of Columbus and the Yorkville American Legion are hosting a Lenten Fish Fry every Friday during Lent from 4 to 7 p.m. March 7 through April 18 at the American Legion Hall, 9054 E. Veterans Parkway, Yorkville.

Each buffet is an all-you-can-eat event, featuring fried cod, baked cod, fried shrimp, chicken fingers, french fries, coleslaw, mixed vegetables, rolls and butter, said Jim Zbella, Grand Knight of the Yorkville Knights of Columbus.

“Stop by for a delicious buffet and support your local veterans and Knights of Columbus,” Zbella said.

Each meal costs $15 for ages 13 and older, $12 for ages 6 to 12, and ages 5 and younger eat for free. Carry-outs cost $16 a plate.

The American Legion Women’s Auxiliary and the Lady Knights are hosting bake sales at each event and each buffet will feature raffles, Zbella said.
