Thank you! Emporia Freedom Fest 2020 is complete!
The 17th Annual Emporia Freedom Fest is now a part of history! Thanks to the 180 participants who made this special year - "special!" We did not know how things would go and were very excited to exceed our goals for 2020. Our goal was to focus this year on recognizing our Veterans and their families. Thank you for sharing the many stories and photos of the special Veteran in your life!
​
Over the next few months we will be meeting with the several charities to present checks from our net proceeds. Next month we will package and send off all the amazing donations for the Emporia Main Street Service Member Care Package Drive.
​
Mark your calendars for the first of July when we will open registration for the 18th Annual Emporia Freedom Fest 2021! Our goal is to be back to our normal 300 plus participants and to bring back the very popular Spur Challenge.
​
We look forward to seeing everyone again next year and don't forget to follow us on our Facebook page for more updates on what's ahead for EFF '21!

Spur Ride
Social Distancing and Spur Ride Challenges just don't go together. As a result, we postponed out next Spur Ride Challenge until 2021. Let us hope for a great 2021 return to our most popular and challenging event.
