We want to thank all who attended the Celebrate America & America's Freedom Fest, Airshow and Fireworks this past Saturday. We had a great event! Unfortunately, we were not prepared for the huge turnout. We had based our traffic and parking expectations on similar previous events and advance ticket sales. We were prepared for up to about 10,000 people. The actual turnout for the event was almost three times more than we had anticipated. Therefore we were woefully under-prepared for the traffic, parking, and food vendor issues that arose. We apologize for our failure and commit to rectifying the problems for our 2018 celebration. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will be able to join us for next year's celebration.

THANK YOU to all who attended Celebrate America 2016, last night. The good Lord gave us great weather, the program honoring our veterans and nations heritage was very enjoyable and the fireworks were fantastic! Based on the parking areas and visual surveys we believe we may have set a record attendance of near, or maybe even above 25,000 people on and around the golf course. Special Thanks to Tony & Patty Krebs, the owners of Black Squirrel Golf Club, for allowing us to use their facilities for our celebration. If you took pictures, please feel free to post them here for all to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you again next year at Celebrate America 2017!

WOW! What a great evening we had for the 26th Celebrate America! The weather was just about perfect, the entertainment by Tim Zimmerman & the King's Brass was excellent and the fireworks (with the exception of a short computer issue delay) were awesome! We were all treated to a special presentation by State Representative Wes Culver as he awarded CA founder Al Lane with the Governor's "Sagamore of the Wabash Award" the highest award a Hoosier citizen can achieve! CA thanks the almost 100 volunteers who worked the event, and to the donors who made it all possible. And a SPECIAL THANKS to YOU the over 20,000 people who came out to enjoy the evening with us! If you took pictures, please feel free to post them here so we can all enjoy them!
