Bryan, Ohio — Community members and visitors from across the region are invited to gather in Uptown Square this Saturday, April 25, for the God & Country Community Rally, a daylong event organizers describe as a celebration of faith, freedom and the future of the country.

The rally is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the square in downtown Bryan, and organizers say attendance is free and open to the public. Programming is planned to run continuously through the afternoon and will include guest speakers from throughout Ohio, live music and patriotic performances, time set aside for prayer and community fellowship, and on-site vendors offering food, merchandise and flags.

Announced speakers include Jim Hoops, Patti Rockey, Derek Merrin, Brandon Moskwa, Josh Williams, Alean Nadeem, Craig Riedel and Carrie Schlade, with additional names expected to be added to the lineup as the event approaches. A full speaker schedule is expected to be posted at the square on the day of the rally.

Organizers are encouraging families to attend together, and say children are welcome. Those planning to attend should dress for outdoor conditions and may wish to bring folding chairs, as seating on the square will be limited. Local merchants along Main Street are expected to be open during the rally hours.

Uptown Square sits at the heart of downtown Bryan at the intersection of Main and Butler streets, a block west of the Williams County Courthouse. Street parking is available along the square and in nearby municipal lots.
