May is Military Appreciation Month, and it wouldn’t be complete without Armed Forces Day. If you need something to do this weekend in Central PA, there is no lack of activities.
Army Heritage Days 2012
The Army Heritage and Education Center is hosting Army Heritage Days complete with live re-enactors, lectures, and presentations. We’ve gone in years past and it’s been a lot of fun for the whole family. The event runs 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday and is free and open to the public.
Armed Forces Day - City Island 2011
Harrisburg City and Ft. Indiantown Gap will once again partner to turn City Island into a military base for the day. Exhibits open at 10am. There is also a 5K fun run/walk hosted by the YMCA that starts at 8am, May 19th. The 5K is free for military members, but there is a small fee if registering online.
Letterkenny Army Depot is also hosting their annual line up of Armed Forces Day Events. There will be a children’s fishing rodeo, golf tournament, exhibits, tours, among other things to see and do for the whole family. Letterkenny’s events start at 8am and run until 2pm.

About Amanda
Thanks for all the great info! I especially love and can’t wait to sign up for the free annual passes from National parks, fish & wildlife, etc. Love it!!
Taking to heart my second grade teacher Ms. Charney’s insistence that there are no stupid questions, I must ask: what is a fishing rodeo?
