Poplar Bluff city officials took time Saturday night to recognize the Missouri National Guard during the PRCA Xtreme Bulls & Bands event at the Black River Coliseum.
Poplar Bluff Mayor Robert Smith presented a key to the city to Captain Drew Galluci of the Missouri National Guard.
This was done to demonstrate the community's appreciation to the men and women of the Missouri National Guard that have been involved with the Mass COVID-19 Vaccination Events throughout the region, according to local officials. The National Guard also participated in the opening ceremony of the rodeo, during the singing of the National Anthem.
