Join us for Forged to Protect on May 16th at The Foundery Church in Wellsburg, WV. This family-friendly event is designed to honor the veterans and first responders who stand watch over our communities with courage and sacrifice.
Forged to Protect is a community event created to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of our local veterans and first responders. More than a family event, it is a chance for our community to come together in gratitude, celebration, and support.
Throughout the day, Forged to Protect will unfold through 4 Watches — a theme inspired by both biblical watchfulness and the calling of those who stand ready to serve and protect. Each watch marks a different hour of the event, giving the day rhythm, meaning, and momentum.
The day begins with arrival, connection, and community. Families can explore vehicles, meet local heroes, visit vendors, take photos, and enjoy the opening hour of the event.
A special featured hour dedicated to honoring local veterans and first responders. This watch will include a recognition ceremony, tokens of appreciation, and meaningful moments of community gratitude.

The final watch slows the pace and brings the day to a strong close. It is a time to take in the atmosphere, enjoy the music, and leave with a sense of gratitude, joy, and lasting memories.
