The Austin Landing community is hosting Warrior Weekend July 11-14, 2019. Military heroes and their families will gather for four days of activities, one of which is a Jeep Parade beginning at 5:45 p.m., July 11. A special Jeep convoy in honor of these heroes will travel from the Hilton Garden Inn at Austin Landing to 5/3 Field for a Dayton Dragons game.
The Miami Township Police Department asks that all motorists use extra care and caution from approximately 5:45 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. as the convoy makes its way to 5/3 Field via Interstate 75 north to downtown Dayton.
Local law enforcement agencies will be slowing traffic and shutting down one lane of I-75 as the convoy moves northward on I-75 from Austin Boulevard. The convoy is traveling on a very tight deadline as special tributes are planned along the route including flag displays and spectators on two overpasses and tributes on several digital billboards along the way provided by Key-Ads and Lamar Advertising.
We pay special tribute to these Purple Heart veterans, Gold Star families and Blue Shield members. Visit Austin Landing online for more details about all the Warrior Weekend activities this weekend.
