The Brown County Fair will be celebrating members of the military both past and present on Sunday August 18th. Veterans and current military members will be allowed free entry along with one guest. Multiple Veteran organizations will also be on hand for a meet and greet from 10:00 to 4:00PM, and the VA will be putting on a program teaching about all the benefits that are available to our nation’s greatest heroes. According to Brown County’s Director of Veteran Services Joseph Aulik, over 50% percent of veterans and dependents are unaware of their benefits. Learning about these services can be a huge stress reducer, and can help curb the trend of veteran suicides. If you or a family member is a veteran that cannot make this informational session, feel free to contact your local Veteran Service Office so you can take advantage of all the benefits they have earned.
