Operation Honor: Rural Salute NC is a free, family-friendly community event for veterans of every era, military families, and the rural neighbors who stand beside them. There will be a veteran farmers market, craft vendors, food trucks, and music in a laid-back, come-as-you-are vibe. Attendees can access veteran-focused support including healthcare navigation, benefits help, and mental health resources while enjoying family-friendly activities for kids of all ages. This is a community day built to offer connection and support to rural veterans who often face challenges like fewer services and longer drives. The event takes place on Saturday, May 16th from 11am-6pm at The Pint Sized Pasture in Sanford. This is a free event; however, registration is required through the event website link provided below.
