The All American Bash is an early Fourth of July celebration and this year honors the 250th birthday of America.

For veterans, there will be a special seating area decked out in red, white and blue to honor their service. OES recognizes the sacrifice and commitment that veterans exemplify and they want to acknowledge what their service means to the community. For those veterans that would like a sweet treat, complimentary slices of pie will be offered to all veterans from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Those planning to attend are also encouraged to wear their best patriotic-themed clothes and invite their friends and families to what is sure to be an incredible evening of merriment, music and community appreciation.
