Description
The Beaucoup Creek Chapter NSDAR will host an interactive America 250! booth featuring a variety of family-friendly activities and educational displays celebrating our Revolutionary War heritage. Visitors can participate in a Patriotic Historical Selfie Scavenger Hunt, enter a Patriotic Pet Costume Contest by photo, and test their luck with a "Guess How Many Toy Soldiers" contest.

A chapter member dressed in colonial attire will help bring history to life, while displays will highlight the chapter's Patriot ancestors and identify Revolutionary War soldiers buried throughout our county. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about local connections to the American Revolution and the individuals who helped secure our nation's independence.

This booth is entirely sponsored by the Beaucoup Creek Chapter NSDAR. Everyone who visits the booth will receive a ticket for a chance to win a prize. We invite the community to stop by, learn about our nation's founding, and join us in celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
