Eight Fulton County cities unite for Veterans Day

Hundreds of people in Fulton County also spent the day honoring our veterans. Every city in Fulton banding together to host the eight cities veterans motorcade. The free event brought motorcycles, corvettes, marching bands, ROTC programs throughout the county, starting in Hapeville, ending in South Fulton. Organizers say this is the first time the eight cities have all come together for a celebration like this one. Taking office for the first time, a lot of the veterans said they felt very underappreciated. There was nothing here on the south side for them. They would have to go to other places to be celebrated and recognized around Veterans Day. And so I started way back when with doing a small fish fry, and that has morphed now into eight cities. The event also featuring live music, food trucks, vendors, and family-friendly activities, too. Of course, you can't celebrate Veterans Day without the deals and the discounts. Various restaurants like Applebee's, Chili's, Chipotle, Denny's, Golden Corral, just to name a few, are offering free food in various ways. Also, major retailers including Publix, Target, Kohl's, Walgreens, all providing discounts, too. A number of local attractions and museums are also offering free admission. We'll be right back.
