The stateline community celebrates the USS Beloit next month.
An event highlighting the U.S. Navy Littoral Combat Ship’s christening and launch will be happening at 5:30 p.m. on September 7th at ABC Supply Stadium.
The evening will include a video of the christening, music performances, unveiling of the ship’s crest by the USS Beloit crew, and a chance to hear from World War II heroes and the ship’s sponsor, retired Major General Marcia Anderson.
Free tickets can be found on Eventbrite. Tickets obtained for the original June event are still valid.
The event was supposed to take place in June but it was postponed due to the extreme heat.
