Christmas In July-Giving To Our Military Heroes

This fun filled event is for the entire family! Come and see military and fire vehicles. There will be demonstrations as well as raffles for different prizes. 
We are collecting items for our Troops overseas.

The day
will be dedicated to local fallen hero, Matt Sitton and his family, of Largo.
Any additional funds collected will be used to help ship the care packages
overseas to the U.S.S. Stockade, which is deployed in the Arabian Gulf. It
consists of 252 males and 52 females, and their wish list mostly consists of
snacks, magazines and toiletries, but most importantly, anything that reminds
them of home.



 “That
was one of our assigned platoon’s biggest wishes: Letters or items from home so
they don’t feel forgotten,” said Jennifer Copeland, director of marketing for
Crabby Bill’s Seafood Restaurant, Inc., who is helping to organize the event.
