PLAINSVILLE, OH (AAPDN) – A mobile education exhibit by Wreaths Across America will stop at two Ohio locations on July 24 and 25, 2020. The goal of the exhibit is to bring local communities and our military together with education, stories and interactive connections, including the opportunity to honor America’s veterans.

On Saturday July 25, 2020, New Connecticut Daughters of the America Revolution and Lake County Historical Society will be hosting the exhibit at 415 Riverside Drive in Painesville.
The will not only provide educational facts, but also about the services and sacrifices of our nation’s military.
“The goal of The Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit is to build community awareness and understanding of the organization’s yearlong mission to Remember, Honor, Teach,” said Karen Worcester, Executive Director of Wreaths Across America. “However, in light of the current health crisis, we feel this exhibit has taken on even more meaning by providing the opportunity for people to safely participate in something with safety measures in place that is both educational and fun, while supporting and giving back to the community during this uncertain time.”
The event is open to the public with social distancing, sanitation and COVID-19 safety procedures in place to protect the health of all visitors in accordance with the CDC’s recommendation for large gatherings stemming from concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
