Cool....I have a couple of patriot themed toons. Most likely I'll bring the All-American Kid, my SS/Shields Tank.
Edited cuz I've too many toons to remember what they all do....

Just a few short days until the Patriot Day Event! Get your themed costumes ready and come on out to Galaxy City!
Just a quick note. The Patriotic themed CC is for all patriots. Contestants do not have to be American themed patriots.
Bright and Shiny,
American Wonder
To expound a bit on the themes for the Costume Contests:
Civil Servant: Everyday heroes like firemen, policemen, etc
Patriotic: A patriot themed costume; as Wonder pointed out this does not have to be an American themed costume; we recognize patriotism in all forms.
Heroic: The best overall hero costume from the male and female category.

As I am sure most of you have noticed by now; Issue 21 is coming next week!
This Saturday's Patriot Day Event is the 8th event that we have held in Galaxy City over the past several years; and with the imminent bombing of Galaxy it will be a fitting farewell to the Galaxy City zone that has served us so well. So everyone come out; honor patriotism; and honor Galaxy!
next week? i gotta keep up on the news more. will they be running pre-i21 events to set things up?

I'd love to see screenies of the event. Sadly, I gotta work until 9pm EST, so the All-American Kid will miss a lot of the event, if not all of it.

Sorry to hear that...be sure to stop by when you get home; you should at least make the final CC and have a shot at some trivia.
