Camp Atterbury will be hosting its annual Community Day on Saturday.

The base’s soldiers and workers are inviting you to come to the base and see what they do. Capt. Jessica Cates is an organizer of the event.

A veterans memorial ceremony starts at at 9:30 a.m., Cates says.

Cates says that there will be bounce houses for chidlren and tours of the base, along with static displays of military equipment. You can also go to the range for a live-fire exercise.

The live- fire demonstration on the Camp Atterbury ranges starts at 3 p.m. But you should meet at the barracks area at 2 p.m. to catch a ride on the buses heading to the range. The new barracks area is across from the main gate near the Wakeman VA clinic.
