Ottawa County Veteran Expo returning virtually in June
GRAND HAVEN The Ottawa County Veteran Expo is returning in a new format this year, after the event was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Honor Rewards Veteran Expo will return June 5, and the Ottawa County Clerk and Register of Deeds office will be posting videos to their social media of veterans receiving medals for their time served, panel discussions, and other featured productions to recognize those who served.
No registration is required for the event, which is free for the community.
U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, will distribute medals to veterans and family members who have not received theirs for their service.
BROTHER and sister team David and Katie Sims have signed up for the virtual Jurassic Coast Hike which spans 95 miles, with the aim to raise money and awareness for the medical condition called Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder (NEAD). They’re raising money for the charity FND Action which specialise in helping individuals and families living with the condition, which occurs when the brain can t handle particular thoughts, memories, emotions or sensations. David said: Our father, Graham, was diagnosed with NEAD more than ten years ago and from our experience there really isn’t much support or awareness. This is where FND Action makes the biggest difference. Families can contact them with any questions or concerns, find out about local support, online support groups, information on professional medical help and much more. Unfortunately, like everything they need money to be able to run and provide this crucial support.
