by Sara Swanson
Have you heard of Camp Liberty and are curious to learn more about it and see it in person? Or maybe you know all about it and just want an opportunity to support them while having fun with the whole family? You have a perfect opportunity coming up!
Camp Liberty will be holding its annual Fall Festival fundraiser on Saturday, September 20, from 11am to 3pm. It will feature a pumpkin patch, corn maze, hayrides, horse rides, live music by The Renegades, archery, corn hole, bonfires, a bounce house, face painting, “touch-a-truck” vehicles, airplanes, military cars, camp tours, and food trucks. The suggested donation is $5 to attend. Camp Liberty is located at 7044 Kappler Dr, off of Austin Road, just past Buss Road, west of the City of Manchester.
This year they are introducing a 5K Trail Run/Walk, which starts at 10am (registration begins at 9am) and weaves through the camp’s 138-acre property. Sign up at runsignup.com (search for “Camp Liberty”). It costs $39 + fees to register. These costs includes a T-shirt and admittance to the Fall Festival. No strollers or pets, and participants under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult. You do not have to be a veteran to participate. Everyone is welcome!
If you have any questions, call or text 517-206-8633.
