Hometown heroes night

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

Tech. Sgt. Phillip Horton from the 266th Range Squadron at Mountain Home Air Force Base reads a story to students from East Elementary School during a "hometown heroes" event Feb. 26.

Police officers, fire fighters, sheriff's deputies, search and rescue team representatives, paramedics and airmen from the local Air Force base gathered at the school to showcase their equipment to students while encouraging them to read.

Last week's event coincided with the school's yearly book fair, which promotes reading while helping the school raise funds to buy additional books for its library.
