Fun activities will be planned for each week. Activities will vary, and the time of the event will be largely based on the activities planned.

The first TTT will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 16 at Warhorse Ranch in Winslow. Participants will watch the movie "Warhorse" in the barn, meet and greet foundation staff, and, as always, have the opportunity to mingle with other veterans and military personnel.
