wagon until they run out of food. Each wagon serves its
own specialty. Chalkboard signs display the various menu
items - everything from chicken-fried steak to biscuits
and gravy to fajitas, not to mention a different dessert at
every station. There's truly something for everyone.
There's no competition between wagons here, though,
and the event is great for anyone interested in learning to
cook the cowboy way.
" That's what makes this really fun, " Steve says. " You
can use a grill if you want. You don't have to be period
correct. Just come here to enjoy your friends, have a good
time and help raise money for veterans in the process. "
Throughout the weekend, set for May 26-27 this year,
visitors also enjoy a donation auction, Nanticoke Indian
Tribe Pow Wow, chuck wagon parade and cowboy church
at the wagons on Sunday. Everywhere you look there are
veterans enjoying good food and conversation. You might
even see a Purple Heart or Medal of Honor recipient. " It's
very cool just to breathe the same air they're breathing, as
far as I'm concerned, " Steve adds.
Even after all these years, the organizers are still
amazed at the overwhelming response to Wagons for
Warriors. " We can never do enough to support or pay back
the debt we owe these military men and women, " Steve
says, " There may not be as many wounded soldiers coming
home now, thankfully, but there's still lots of warriors in
need. And that's why we're here. "
