Welcome to Bossier City: A Weekend to Honor Our Veterans!
If you’re in the lovely Bossier City area this weekend, get ready for some heartwarming celebrations as we come together to honor our military heroes. It’s the much-anticipated VetFest happening in the East Bank District this Saturday, starting bright and early at 11 a.m. This all-day event is a fantastic way to show our appreciation for the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces.
A Family Celebration for Our Heroes
Bring the whole family out because it’s packed with fun activities for everyone! You can groove to live music from local bands, browse through a variety of local vendors, and even try your luck at the silent auction. And let’s not forget the little ones—a jump house will be set up for the kids to bounce around and enjoy themselves!
Throughout the day, there will be inspiring guest speakers ready to share their stories, and you can also find valuable resources tailored specifically for veterans and first responders. What’s even better? Admission is completely free! So, gather your family and friends and come out to support our local heroes.
Sharing Gratitude at the Louisiana State Fair
A Moving Tribute at BPCC
The tribute will be on display all day, leading up to a special Veterans Day ceremony taking place at 9:30 a.m. during the morning. This year’s keynote speaker is none other than Charlton J. Meginley, the Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Veteran Affairs. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the public to join in and salute the courageous individuals who protect our freedoms.
A Symbol of Honor and Support
Each flag standing tall in the quad serves as a reminder of the honor and respect we have for those who served. Together, they create a meaningful display of appreciation that everyone can see and feel. After the ceremony, attendees are encouraged to walk around the display as a personal show of respect and gratitude.
