Wind Unkind to Veterans Hiring Expo

The Invest in Our Vets event at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre wasn't quite washed out, but weather cut the number of attendees.

The Scott Rigsby Foundation already is planning next year's Invest in Our Vets hiring expo, despite wind wreaking havoc with Friday's inaugural event.

The veterans hiring expo was held in conjunction with the Alliance Ride, a series of cycling and handycling events in support of Georgia Warriors, who are veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Storm.

Unfortunately the weather system being brought in by those high winds on Friday afternoon also caused the postponement of all Saturday races in the Alliance Ride.
