Constitution Day celebration scheduled for September 17 in Weber County

NORTH OGDEN, Utah (PRWEB) September 15, 2005

A Constitution Day event celebrating the signing of the United State’s Constitution on September 17, 1787 will be held Saturday, September 17 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. at the North Ogden Ballpark & Bowery at 2650 N. 474 E. in North Ogden. The park is located adjacent to North Ogden Elementary School.

The public is invited to this old-fashioned patriotic event and all activities are free.

The program will start at 10 a.m. and include a flag ceremony by the Ben Lomond High School Army Jr. ROTC, musical numbers and recognition of local politicians as upholders of our Constitution. The keynote speaker will be Jay Hess, a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force. Mr. Hess was held as a POW in Vietnam from 1967-1973.

Following the program, a free lunch of hotdogs and chips will be available.

While widely celebrated in other states, this is the only known public event for Constitution Day in Utah. It is a great opportunity to celebrate our freedoms as Americans and the document that insures that freedom.

This Constitution Day celebration is being sponsored by Sentinel News, a free monthly newspaper serving Weber County and beyond. Circulating 35,000 issues monthly, the newspaper concentrates on local news and constitutional issues.

“Remembrance and celebration of this inspired contract and of the hand of the Almighty who has allowed its continuation for 218 years should be dear to the heart of every freedom-loving American. We hope by sponsoring this celebration to stir feelings of reverence and gratitude to the principles upon which the Constitution is founded,” said Mark Mackley, publisher of Sentinel News.
