Two of the things our region is most known for are barbeque and veterans. On Saturday, May 11, an event to honor both will be held in Floresville.
Veterans from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines will compete to see who has the best skills on the grill.
The event is open to everyone, including non-veterans. Ray Herrera, an officer with the Wilson County Veterans Service Office, said that the proceeds will benefit veterans and their families. “Family members served with the veteran throughout their career. And when they come out , many veterans long for that same camaraderie. That’s what this event is about — connecting service members to employment and other services through the service office,” Herrera said.Coffee, Cars and Veterans“We will have our cars here. I have a 1930 model, and some other members have classic cars, and they will be here as well,” Gonzales said.The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
