A care package drop-off booth will be available onsite to accept donations of recommended items to be shipped to the troops currently serving.

The evening will conclude with a dazzling fireworks display choreographed to a patriotic soundtrack, weather permitting. Families are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs, and concessions will be available for purchase from a variety of food vendors.
