People in the stateline area are invited to ABC Supply Stadium to celebrate the USS Beloit’s christening and launch. Beloit Strategic Communications Director Sarah Lock hopes this event creates a sense of pride in their community. Lock says it’s incredible having a navy ship named after their city and they hope people can come, learn about their history of supporting the military and learn about the World War II heroes. She says they also hope people will partake in a day of celebrating this monumental occasion. The event is June 21 with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.
