College of the Ozarks invites the public to attend the 23rd annual Honor America on Sunday, June 24. The event will begin with a picnic at 4:30 p.m. where attendees can purchase barbecue items, followed by a musical entertainment beginning at 5 p.m. and a patriotic program and concert at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonor America has become a tradition that people of all ages can enjoy,\u201d said Elizabeth Hughes, College of the Ozarks public relations director. \u201cKids can play with tinker toys, make bubbles and much more, while parents and grandparents can enjoy great music, barbecue and relax. Folks who attend will experience an atmosphere reminiscent of an old-fashioned patriotic celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event will feature several musical favorites, including bluegrass by Copper Fox, the Downing Street Boys who will entertain with traditional southern gospel music and the cast from Red, Hot\u2026 and Blue!, who will perform American classics from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Before the sky lights up with fireworks, attendees will hear a patriotic concert and witness more than 200 years of tradition with the West Point drum and bugle corps, The Hellcats, as they perform a fantastic display of bugling and drumming. <\/p>\n

\u201cPatriotism is a main focus at College of the Ozarks, and Honor America is a great way to celebrate that,\u201d said Hughes. \u201cI can\u2019t think of a better way to begin your Independence Day festivities than by coming to the College\u2019s beautiful campus to listen to music that encompasses the American spirit and to pay tribute to our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

After dark, an elaborate fireworks display will conclude the event. Honor America is free and is open to the public, but don\u2019t forget your lawn chairs. Alcohol, tobacco products, fireworks and pets are strictly prohibited. For more information, please call the Public Relations office at (417) 690-2212.<\/p>\n
