Operation Honor 2025





Get ready, folks—Operation Honor is back, bigger and better than ever! If you love live music, delicious food, great shopping, and supporting our heroes, this is YOUR day.

From hometown favorite Noah Mellott to the nationally touring Marine veteran JB Brown Band, we’re bringing you a boot-stomping, heart-pumping lineup that’ll keep you rocking all day—and ending the night with fireworks!


We’ve seriously stepped up our food game—think tasty BBQ, mouthwatering burgers, local brews from Berg Brewing, and plenty more. Come hungry and leave happy!

Explore over 50 vendors offering handcrafted goods, veteran-made products, and unique finds you won’t get anywhere else. It’s shopping with purpose!

Visit our veteran resource fair packed with opportunities, health services, and support organizations ready to empower our rural heroes and their families. Get your questions answered DIRECTLY from the VA!

Bring the kids along for games, activities, and plenty of smiles. This event is all about community—so let’s make memories together!

Kick things off early with some friendly competition at the Great Cove Golf Club—teeing up connections and good times.
