The Portage la Prairie Legion held a casino fundraiser Friday night in Portage la Prairie. Legion first vice president Kris Bowman explains what it was all about.

"The goal is simply to put funds into the legion to help with some of the renovations," says Bowman. "We've been doing a lot of renovations over the last year and a half or so. We need to try and recuperate those costs so that we're not going into the hole with those financial needs."

He notes there games including blackjack, Texas Hold'em poker, and roulette. Bowman adds they're shooting for $1,000, and notes they had a good crowd who came out for the event.
