Here is your chance to say thank you to the men and women of Adams County with the Red, White, and Back the Blue Festival this weekend in Washington Park.

Local band Pepper Spray will perform from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. Food will be provided by Hy-Vee Grill for purchase purchase from 5:30-8:30 p.m. and TCBY will also be onsite during the event.
Everyone coming to the event is encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and beverages and enjoy an evening with our local Emergency Services Personnel. Also, if you work for QPD, QFD, Tri-Township FD, Adams CO EMS, Adams CO 911 Dispatch, Adams CO Sheriff’s Dept., and Il State Police show your ID to receive a free meal for you and your immediate family.
This is one of those events to show your young children that firemen and police are safe and friendly and teach them that if they are ever in trouble approach an officer for help.
