Join Us for the Veteran Appreciation Cookout!

We’re celebrating Military Appreciation Month the right way—with great food, music, and community. This in-person cookout is free for veterans and their families, and dedicated to honoring those who served in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Enjoy a full experience including:

• 🎯 Games and prize giveaways
• 📸 A fun, interactive photo booth
• 💬 Opportunities to connect, share stories, and build community

🔥 When you’re ready to wind down, step over to our chill firepit area, where you can relax and enjoy smooth, mellow jazz played live on the saxophone by Mr. Rice—setting the perfect vibe for the evening.

🎟️ Special Giveaway:
We’ll be giving away box seat tickets to an Indianapolis Indians baseball game—so come ready to participate and win!
