On May 27, 2024, the Laurens County Hall of Heroes will host a special Memorial Day Cruise-In at the Laurens County Veterans Affairs Office located at 105 Bolt Drive in Laurens. The event, which begins at 9:30 AM, promises a day of remembrance, community engagement, and tribute to the brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives in defense of the United States.

Car enthusiasts and patriots alike are invited to join the Cruise-In, which will feature a display of vehicles competing for the top three trophies and various prizes.
