Not to brag but…
this might be the most perfect Hometown Days forecast we’ve ever seen. ☀️

Like… aggressively nice. Suspiciously perfect.

So if you’re not there, we’re going to assume:
A) you’re out of town
B) you don’t like fun
C) you forgot that this event supports some pretty amazing local organizations

We’re kidding. (Mostly.)
See you TOMORROW, Verona.🧡

Hometown Days is fun. That part’s obvious. 🎉

What’s not always obvious is who makes it happen.

Every year, local organizations like the American Legion, Rotary Club, Lions Club, Optimists, Young Life, Booster Clubs, and VAHS Silver Cord students volunteer their time to bring this event to life.

And for many of them, it’s more than just a weekend—it’s a major fundraiser that supports their work all year long.

So when you come out, you’re doing more than making memories…
you’re making an impact. 💙

On this Memorial Day, as we take time to remember and honor those who served 🇺🇸

…we’ve got one final clue for our dedicated hunters.

(And if it’s already been found—don’t worry, the hunt isn’t over. You can still track it down and add your name to the list 👀)

Here it is 👇

Other than that, she was asked,
How did you like the play?
She preferred television,
Chicago ___ or ____ Country.
And she wasn’t much of a clapper.

👀 This is it.

If you’ve been close, this might be the piece that brings it all together.
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines… now’s your moment.

Finish the hunt, Verona.
