Rock bands, food trucks, slushies and cornhole provided the fun for an event Saturday, June 3, in Butler that brought awareness to women veterans in advance of Women Veterans Day.

The first Food Truck and Rock Fest held in a city parking lot on Main Street was a fundraiser for Robin’s Home, a Butler nonprofit organization that provides supportive housing to women veterans and their children.

“We wanted to kick off June with a celebration to bring the community together,” said Stephanie Shaffer, president of Robin’s Home’s board of directors. “The amount of support from the city, vendors and the community has been overwhelming.”

Robin’s Home and a few residents got together and decided to put on an event to honor Women Veterans Day, which is June 12.
