Oct. 16--The Yakima Valley Veterans Coalition will hold its annual Veterans Stand Down and Benefit Fair on Oct. 17 at State Fair Park, 1301 S. Fair Ave., in Yakima.

Veterans who cannot attend can also make arrangements, through the registration form, for follow-up at a later date.

All veterans are welcome. A copy of veteran military discharge papers or other veteran ID is required. Preregistration is required. A registration form is available at https://forms.gle/jweY6YWJamJt3PDX8.
