The Chris Kyle Post 388 of the Midlothian American Legion is sponsoring an All-American Cookout immediately after the Midlothian Independence Day Parade on June 29th from noon to about 4pm at the Midlothian Community Park on 14th street – just look for the flags and canopies.
Come out to the park for an old-fashioned cook-out with free burgers, hotdogs, and drinks. Turn the kids loose on the inflatable obstacle challenge and our military vehicles as seen in the parade. Come learn what your American Legion Posts are doing for your communities including sponsoring our local Scouting America troops and Cub Scouts Pack.
