Manton to host 'Hometown Heroes" event in August
MANTON -- The community will soon be showing their appreciation for those who served our country, so now is a good time to mark your calendars. Next month, several community organizations in Manton will be hosting their first ever ‘Hometown Heroes Day’ at Manton Rotary Park. Organizers say it’s a great chance for vets to share comradery, show their military pride and have a chance to visit the Manton Veterans Memorial Museum. They do have one special request for those who attend, “We encourage people to wear something from their unit. Like a hat or a patch or something, so you can be distinguished by what unit you were in,” said Manton Chamber of Commerce Vice President, Shelly Emery
