The second quarter at Franklin County Veterans Memorial was made truly amazing by the Shamrock Family Reunion, our farewell to Vaud-Villites , a myriad of exciting public trade shows and many wonderful dance competitions and recitals.   We are excited to host the graduations of many students from high schools and colleges.  We appreciate being a part of their very special day. 
 
Our facility's improvements continue as we have just put a new face on the trim of our building.  The seventies red and orange entrances to our exhibition halls are now a fresh deep blue and our curbs and light fixtures are polished with a fresh new appeal.  We want our guests to feel comfortable in their surroundings while they create a new memory with Vets.
 
We are excited to announce the addition of a concert to the annual Christian Home Educators Convention.  An Evening with Michael Card highlights the Thursday night closing of the convention.  We have also just announced the return of Jamie Foxx, who will join us on August 14 - get your tickets soon, as this is always a sell out event.
 
Join is for the best spot in town to see the Red, White and Boom celebration which is shot right from our back parking lot on July 3rd.  It is an amazing view watching the fireworks right above you as WNCI orchestrates the narration and music to fit the show.  Also, concessions will be available to enhance your experience.  Add to your Independence Day celebration by attending the Sternwheelers Cat Show the following day.  It is an absolute treat for all cat lovers.
 
August is alive with the Buckeye Ferret Show, the Bead Street Show and of course, the Singing Buckeyes as they harmonize the evening away.  As usual, there is always something fun to do at Vets!  Thank you to all of our clients and partners who made Spring 2009 a fun and exciting time!
