Motorcycle riders from Fairbanks, North Pole and Interior Alaska communities joined CSM Wayne Jeffries, Garrison Command Sergeant Major, and other Fort Wainwright Soldiers in Freedom Fest Ride for Awareness, Saturday during “a two-day celebration of our military members who have served and those who continue to serve,” making real the vision of host, Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. FMWR invited community members to join in the celebration June 29 and 30, and they did – in person, in sponsorship contributions and support before, during and after deployments and in continuing support of Soldiers and their Families after Freedom Fest 2012. Freedom Fest offered activities for all ages, ranging from cage fights to pony rides to a 5K fun run and Latin dance-exercise demonstrations, not to mention the second annual Battle of the Bands. The Ride for Awareness was a new event that brought together 150 participants and was the “biggest success,” said M.J. Lohrenz, director of FMWR, “the community support was amazing.”
