Patriots living in Monroe can pay tribute this Memorial Day at Lake Tye Park. As the setting for the Flags 4 Our Fallen 5K Walk Run, this Monroe property will be all about the red, white, and blue. Starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 27th, proceeds benefit the Monroe Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7511. A national organization, the VFW places a focus on community service and strives to assist veterans who may be in need. A guest speaker will welcome all in the morning followed by the traditional playing of the National Anthem.
Participants in the 5K represent the true spirit of America as they traverse the race path lakeside. Located at 14964 Lake Tye Park is a favorite recreational space for families living in Monroe. Over 60 acres are strictly reserved for fun. There is plenty of relaxing to do on the lake and on the beachside shore. Barbeques are fired up for hot dogs and hamburgers. The rest of the spread is laid out on available picnic tables. Children get out energy on the playground and basketball courts before and after their meals.
Make memories this Memorial Day by honoring United States Military members who have lost their lives in service. After the run spend the day in the park with friends and family having fun and cherishing loved ones.
