This year marked our 11th Annual Veterans Appreciation Chow Down, and the community showed up in full force yet again! We welcomed 146 guests for the 11 AM seating and another 164 for the 2 PM seating — over 300 veterans, family members, friends, and community members gathering to share a meal, connection, and gratitude. Thank you to all who attended as well as our generous sponsors for making it happen.
