SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) -- The Sailing Education Association of Sheboygan is hosting a special brat fry and sailing event today at the Yacht Club to benefit local veterans.
It's called Brats and Boats, and it's a benefit for the Wisconsin Military Network. The program works in all of Wisconsin's counties in order to help connect veterans and their families with the resources and assistance they need when they return from their service. Deb Wolniak from the Wisconsin Military Network says it's important to keep veterans in our minds. "We want to make sure that we continue to welcome home those that are coming back from deployment, those that have served our country."
Wolniak says they're happy to get veterans and their families out on the water. "If you are in a wheelchair or something that is limiting a little bit, don't worry, we can get you out on the water and out sailing." Those rides start at 11 am and run through 3 pm.
