LEXINGTON VETERANS CONNECTION
On this Veterans Day, we are sad to announce that we have decided to cancel this year’s Veterans’ Festival scheduled for tomorrow, November 12 at Masterson Station Park. We want to honor and celebrate our heroes, but feel it is best to do so under the right conditions. Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather and with that comes tough decisions at times.
Thank you to all of our sponsors and partners who worked to make what would have been an amazing celebration this year.
Our team is already planning for 2023, so look for our exciting events to honor those who have served then!
Happy Veteran’s Day. We appreciate all of you!
