Community invited to Loyalty Day

Patriotism, community spirit and family fun will be on full display at the 5th annual United States of America Loyalty Day Celebration, happening Saturday, April 26, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Veterans of Foreign Wars District 7 – Eufaula Lake VFW Post 8798.

Hosted by the VFW Post, the celebration honors the values of loyalty, unity and dedication to country. This year’s event promises an exciting lineup of activities for all ages, including a dunk tank and a friendly cornhole tournament.

Organizers are encouraging families, friends, veterans and community members to come out and enjoy the festivities while showing appreciation for the freedoms and values that make America great.

“This event is about more than just fun and games,” said a VFW Post 539, Henryetta, representative. “It’s about bringing people together in honor of the sacrifices made for our country and reminding ourselves of the importance of loyalty to our nation.”

Attendees can expect a lively afternoon filled with laughter, connection and patriotic pride. Whether you’re competing in the cornhole tourney, getting soaked in the dunk tank, or simply enjoying the camaraderie, there’s something for everyone.

There will be a variety of games, prizes and food for the whole family.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gather with your neighbors, celebrate our shared American spirit and support your local veterans.
