JOIN US FOR TROOPS & TREATS IN OCTOBER
Calling ALL LITTLE TROOPS for a special Halloween event on OCTOBER 25TH. Join us for a FREE night of candy from around the world where our troops have served, costumes, courage crafts, puppets, and more here at our Center!
WHY are we offering this?
We recognize access barriers exist for school groups—transportation costs, entry fees, etc. We wanted to create an opportunity for students and their families to freely access the BIG stories of Medal of Honor and Space Medal of Honor Recipients here at our Center in a fun and engaging way after our regular hours. Thus, Troops & Treats came about last year, and we were overwhelmed (in a good way) with the turnout. So, we want to offer this FREE night again in the hopes even more from surrounding communities have a chance to experience our gallery in a unique way!
