The annual event will feature a Black Hawk helicopter and military vehicles on display in the base area, recruiter tables, raffles and an auction in Peabody Lodge. Cannon will also host special guest speakers Kelly Ayotte, former New Hampshire senator, and Kristina Sabasteanski, director of Veterans Adaptive Sports & Training and two-time former Olympian.
Additionally, the festivities will include a flag parade at 12:30 p.m., a performance of the national anthem sung by Profile High School Choir, ROTC from White Mountain Regional High School, and a color guard presentation.
