The Walter B. Jones Park in Havelock will be the site of a Military Family Appreciation Day on July 18, 2009 from 2 p.m. to about 6 p.m. This annual event is sponsored by the Victory Chapel of Havelock. This is the 4th event the church has organized.

According to Pastor Gary Monnens, the family oriented event will have something for everyone including games, food, music and fun.

PEDRO will be there as well as working military dogs. You can see the classic car show and participate in various drawings.

A presentation honoring military families is scheduled at 4 p.m. Various bands will perform starting at about 4;30 p.m.

Food tickets are 4 for $1.00 and you can get hot dogs, snow cones, cotton candy and drinks at very affordable family prices.

Proceeds from the car show and the gas grill raffles will be donated to the "Wounded Warriors" fund.

Last year over 600 people were in attendance and this organizers are planning for a larger crowd.

Come and enjoy the fun and fellowship with your neighbors and friends. The public is also invited to this tribute to our military families.
