PATRIOT DAY
NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE AND REMEMBRANCE
Patriot Day on September 11th honors the memory of the nearly 3,000 innocent victims who died in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Each year Americans dedicate this day to remembering those who died and the first responders who risked their own lives to save others.
The militant group Al Qaeda hijacked four planes in the United States and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. The coordinated attack killed over 3,000 people.
Save te date for this year’s Chamber BBQ Cook-Off happening at the Tri-State Fairgrounds on Thursday, October 3rd. More information is coming soon, so watch our website. We are currently signing up teams that participated in the event in 2023 and will open it up to new teams in August. If you had a team last year and have not registered yet, please contact Lindsey at (806) 342-2006 ASAP to secure your space for this year.
