Cliff Buchan News Editor Veterans who like to eat may want to head to Forest Lake on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Three area businesses have joined in two special events that will offer free foods to past veterans and those currently serving in uniform, either on active duty or in the reserve or guard forces. At any time during the day on Nov. 11, Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar, 335 SW 12th St., is offering veterans a free meal. A breakfast opportunity is also in the offering. Roberts Family Funeral Home and Key’s Cafe of Forest Lake will be honoring veterans with a complimentary “Early Risers” breakfast on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at Key’s. Veterans can pick up their breakfast tickets (limit of two) at the funeral home, 555 SW Centennial Drive, to be redeemed between 7-10 a.m. on Veteran’s Day. A total of 100 breakfast tickets will be available. For more information, call Roberts Family Funeral Home at 651-464-4422.
