Red, Rhythm and Boom Fourth of July celebration

Joe Barr American Legion Post 194 was featured on Legion.org in 2019 for our involvement with Red, Rhythm and Boom.

American Legion Post 194 in Mason, Ohio, has been a steady presence at the city’s annual Red, Rhythm and Boom Fourth of July celebration. The previous four years the post had the role of a vendor at the festival, one it continued this year.

But that was just a small part of Post 194’s involvement. After reaching out to city leaders, the post was able to take on a much larger role. This year’s festival on July 3 was an opportunity for the city to honor the Legion’s 100 years of service, as well as showcase all Post 194 does in the community.

A large tent in front of the Mason Municipal Center in the heart of the Community Center campus featured displays highlighting The American Legion’s 100-year history and its Four Pillars. The Legion also was honored on stage between musical acts, and Post 194’s color guard also presented Old Glory on stage prior to the singing of the national anthem.
