What Is Battle of the Badges?
Battle of the Badges is part competition, part community celebration—and 100% about supporting the men and women who show up for us every day.
First responder teams will compete in a series of fun, physical, and teamwork-focused challenges designed to be inclusive, spirited, and entertaining. While the competition happens on the field, the fairgrounds will be open to the public with food trucks, music, kids activities, and opportunities to explore emergency vehicles and equipment.
This is a day for:
- Friendly rivalry
- Community pride
- Supporting first responders—together
