OLD FORGE -- Folks faced off with a classic game of bocce and it’s all to help veterans in Lackawanna County.
Newswatch 16 stopped by Arcaro and Genell Restaurant in Old Forge where the Sons of Italy held their third annual Bocce for Veterans tournament.
Eighteen teams battled for the gold all while helping veterans in need.
“Look at the comradery we have here in this borough. There are so many people just come out. They want to be part of an organization,” said Sylvio Mele from the Sons of Italy.
Proceeds raised at the tournament benefit Saint Francis Commons in Scranton which helps struggling veterans.
