Second Annual Flag City Community VetFest Coming Up

(From the Hancock County Veterans Service Office)

Our community is gearing up for the second annual Flag City Community VetFest, a production of the Hancock County Veteran Service Office presented by Rate on Saturday, June 13th on Broadway St. in downtown Findlay.

According to Ed Newton, Hancock County Veterans Service Resilience Operations Manager,

“Vet Fest is about bringing people together. It’s a chance for veterans to connect with each other, but also to say thank you to the community for all the support they’ve shown us over the years “It goes both ways—we’re honoring those who served, and also recognizing how much it means to have a community that stands behind us. At the end of the day, it’s about connection, gratitude, and having a good time with good people.”

This year’s event will feature music from Shifferly Road, Reverb, VooDoo Haze and Graveyard Daisies, delicious food from area food trucks, thirst quenching beverages, fun souvenirs and music that will make you get up and dance and the chance to give back to our veterans and our community.

The doors open at 4pm and the event ends at 10pm with a closing and flag lowering ceremony.

Money raised from the event will benefit Wreaths Across America, veteran housing initiative, local food pantries and Toys for Tots.
