About Us

On S. Fremont Street in Shenandoah, Elks Lodge #1122 has long been the kind of place where you show up for one event and end up staying for three more. The main event room is genuinely large, the kind of space that handles a wedding reception, a fundraiser dance, or a retirement party without feeling cramped. Pull into the ample parking lot off Highway 59 and you'll understand immediately why locals keep coming back.

The lodge runs on something you can't manufacture: real community. Thursday evenings during the summer draw a crowd for live music, and the on-site bar keeps the atmosphere social without anyone needing to drive across town for a drink. Members and guests alike rate the experience 4.8 out of 5, and the reviews say the same thing in different ways: the facility impresses, the people make it.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has operated lodges like this one for over 150 years, channeling dues and event proceeds into scholarships, veterans' programs, and local youth initiatives. Lodge #1122 carries that tradition forward right here in Page County, one gathering at a time.

What We Offer

The event room at Elks Lodge #1122 is the centerpiece. It's a large, open floor plan that converts easily for seated dinners, dancing, or ceremony-style events. Pair it with the adjacent bar and you have a self-contained venue that handles everything from a quinceañera to a corporate awards night without requiring outside catering coordination.

Beyond rentals, the lodge runs a full calendar of member events: summer Thursday live music nights, seasonal dances, holiday gatherings, and community fundraisers. Membership unlocks access to all of it, plus reciprocal privileges at Elks lodges nationwide. The bar is open for members and their guests on regular lodge nights.

The Elks national programs add another dimension: college scholarships for local students, support for veterans and active-duty military, drug awareness education for youth, and the Hoop Shoot free-throw competition for kids. When you rent the hall or join the lodge, those dollars cycle back into Shenandoah and Page County.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.
