Middlesex County College will hold Military Appreciation Day on Nov. 7 in Parking Lot 3 on its Edison campus, off Woodbridge Avenue.
The program, which will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will combine an exploration of military culture with fun. Activities include a rock wall, soccer kick game, inflatable basketball game, football toss, a jousting pit and an obstacle course. Participants can also examine a Humvee and other military vehicles and military gear such as combat vests and Kevlar helmets.
They can also visit the Marine Corps Mobile Museum. In addition, the Veterans Center of Secaucus will operate its Mobile Counseling Center for any veteran in need of services. There will also be music and vendors selling food.
The activities are free and open to the public.
Military Appreciation Day is part of a week-long program that includes a blood drive on Nov. 6 and packing supplies for troops overseas as part of Operation Shoebox on Nov. 10.
