Kids can participate in the Doggie Dash Fun Run and play on the 52 foot inflatable obstacle course or in the Moon Bounce. Women’s Health issues and Senior Healthy Living are two major components of this year’s expo which will run through the day until 2 pm.
At 9:15 am, please join us for a moving ceremony “Salute to our Nation’s First Responders”. The first on the scene and often the last to leave, first responders in our community often mean the difference between life and death. They were so much a fixture in our society that they practically went unnoticed unless needed. That is until September 11, 2001 when raw courage, duty, honor and the ultimate sacrifice displayed to the world that everyday heroes were just down the street and one call away.

As we near the 10 year anniversary of September 11th, we will display the a flag that flies every year near Ground Zero to remember those who lost their lives on that day trying to save others and pay tribute to countless others who patrol our streets, fight our fires, respond to our medical emergencies and fight for our freedom.
