Leonardtown to Host Hometown Heroes Celebration Honoring Local First Responders

Leonardtown Square will come alive with community spirit during the upcoming Hometown Heroes Celebration, an event dedicated to honoring our local first responders.

This family-friendly event will feature live music, a variety of food and beverage options, interactive meet-and-greet opportunities with first responders, and a display of emergency and specialty vehicles. The celebration provides a unique opportunity for the public to engage with the men and women who serve and protect our community every day.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Leonardtown Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, with all funds donated in memory of Brice Trossbach, a dedicated local firefighter who tragically passed away on June 27, 2023.

One of the event’s highlights will be an antique pedal fire truck raffle. The fire truck, generously donated by the family of Bubby Knott, includes a commemorative tailgate plate honoring Trossbach’s legacy.

Raffle ticket sales began on May 1 and will continue through the day of the event, when the winner will be announced.

Join us as we celebrate the bravery, service, and sacrifice of our hometown heroes.
