As it is, summer is traditionally a celebration of our great country. Starting with Memorial Day, closely followed by Independence Day, a patriotic mood is set for the summer months. This summer is bound to be full of even more red, white and blue as Team USA takes on the world at the Rio Olympics.
Starting with the opening ceremony on Friday, August 5th, the 2016 Olympic Games run through Sunday, August 21st. This year’s games will feature 28 different sports (click here to see the full list).
While we will be cheering each and every Team USA athlete on, we are especially excited to cheer on the athletes with ties to Marlyand.
