 The Morgan County Fair is teaming up with WW2 Armor for a one-of-a-kind "Salute the Troops" event on July 10th at 6:00 PM. This evening promises to be a heartfelt tribute to our brave men and women in uniform, past and present.
The event will begin with some introductions and a speech from a Veteran speaker, followed by a meet and greet with the crews of World War II tanks courtesy of WW2 Armor. Get up close and personal with these historical tanks and feel a connection to our military history like never before.
Then, head to the grandstand for an exciting showcase of the tanks' capabilities, including a demonstration of their firepower with blank rounds. It's sure to be a thrilling experience for all attendees.
We kindly ask all veterans to register for this event to ensure proper recognition and accommodation. This event is dedicated to honoring the sacrifices and achievements of our veterans and current military members. Registration is free of charge and involves no unsolicited emails.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to engage with history, celebrate our veterans, and witness the incredible legacy of the World War II tanks and their crews. "Salute the Troops" promises to be an evening of education, appreciation, and thrilling entertainment. ðŸŽ‡
