We are excited to be helping the American Legion posts of Buena Vista and Salida host a special drone show to celebrate two incredible milestones: the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 150th anniversaries of our local communities.

Putting on a drone show is a significant expense, and the American Legion has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help make this event possible for everyone to enjoy.

If you are able, we would greatly appreciate a donation of any amount. Every contribution helps bring this unique community celebration to life and honors the veterans and citizens who have helped shape our nation and our towns.

Thank you for your support, and please consider sharing this post to help spread the word!
