     This festive, family-friendly celebration is possible thanks to decades of community collaborations, so will include activities from many groups, ranging from a frontier/classic car show and remote-control car course to pumpkin painting and corn hole competition. Food trucks will be onsite and VA-enrolled Veterans will receive a ticket for free food. Also, commemorative coins will be given out to the first 200 Veterans or staff who attend.

      Community members or organizations who have questions may email SHEpublicaffairs@va.gov. #SheridanVA100
