Hero Appreciation Days
Hero Appreciation Days is an annual community gathering held at Western Wyoming Community College. This event seeks to honor all first responders, active duty military and veterans. This is a family-friendly affair allowing interaction with the men and women we seek to honor.
Past events have included static equipment displays, museum exhibits, and interactive activities. American Legion Post 24 and 28 have provided free hot dogs and hamburgers in the past. A raffle table with prizes makes the day even more delightful for those in attendance.
Hero Appreciation Days is always free to everyone!
