VFW Plans for Idaho State Encampment in Pocatello
Idaho VFW leaders James L. Ingalls and Richard Mooney arrived in Pocatello to finalize plans for the 15th annual Idaho department encampment opening Sunday and running through June 11.

A car raffle by Pocatello post leads events, with proceeds possibly going to the national home at Eaton Rapids Michigan if a national officer wins. The encampment hosts and auxiliary program are set, with headquarters at the Bannock and Whitman hotels and many state and national leaders anticipated.
