The Junction City Brigade had scheduled an event called Honoring Our Community Heroes Friday night ( July 3 ) at Rathert Field. Officials with the team have confirmed that the event is being postponed, possibly to a late July or early August time frame.

The event was scheduled to also serve as a fundraiser for the Brigade and include a fireworks display, live band performance, food and beverages.

Cecil Aska, Brigade General Manager, explained the postponement was due to COVID-19. "Just for concerns about the increase in the number of coronavirus cases. Just trying to do what we think is in the best interest of the public and the safety of everyone."

The Brigade did not field a team this season due to concerns about COVID-19 but do plan to return with a team in 2021.
