From the organizers: "Our goal for this event was to provide a free, fun day for veterans, active duty, active/inactive reserve, and their families in Charlottesville and surrounding communities. We will have plenty of leisurely outdoor activities, including water activities, bounce house, games for children, demonstrations, 'Touch the Truck' display, and tables with information from organizations that support and provide opportunities to veterans....There will be spin and fly-fishing instruction offered; and we encourage anyone wishing to fish, have valid licenses and their own fishing tools to cast a line, while at our event. You are also welcome to bring your own boats to the event, please bring appropriate PFDs. We have live music and local business items and gift cards in our raffles. The event will feature a picnic catered by Mission BBQ. We hope veterans and their families are as excited as we are to have this day of fun and appreciation for our local veterans!"
