Area veterans will be honored before Thursday’s Escanaba Eskymos football. It starts with a picnic at 5:30 p.m. Rusty Bluse with the Escanaba Fan Club and Quarterback Club says all veterans and active duty servicemen and their spouses are welcome to attend. The group will be served hamburgers and brats.

 

Along with the fan club and quarterback club, the event is sponsored by the Escanaba Elks Lodge 354. The veterans will then be invited onto the field before the game to be recognized and shake the players’ hands.
