played. A group of Veterans will select the Veteran’s Choice Awards at the final stop at

Our first stop will be at the Target Shopping Center in La Plata. From there we will take
Route 301 South to Route 234, and head South to Route 5 in Leonardtown. Our second
stop is planned for the Square in downtown Leonardtown. This will be our lunch stop. We

Prince Frederick, where we will take Route 231 West to Hughesville. We will then take
Route 5 South to our final stop at the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home. Each stop will have a
scheduled departure time which will allow participants to leisurely get to the next stop and
have time to display their car at each stop.
