WarDogs bring America 250 tour to Sterling for military night
Military Appreciation Night at Plainsmen Park paired the WarDogs’ America 250 tour with baseball, a flag ceremony and a civic gathering for Sterling.
The U.S. Military WarDogs turned Plainsmen Park in Sterling into a Military Appreciation Night stage Tuesday evening, pairing baseball with an America 250 tribute as they faced the Mile High Collegiate Baseball League All-Stars. Northeastern Junior College scheduled the event for 6 to 8 p.m. at its baseball program’s home field on Verde Avenue on the north side of Sterling.
Plainsmen Park is NJC’s baseball home and features a clubhouse, two batting cages and a grandstand for fans.
The WarDogs mission is to support the military, give back to veterans and honor the fallen. The nonprofit Forever Never Forgotten was created in 2018, and the team’s touring model uses military-affiliated players against collegiate league and first responder teams to raise funds and awareness in communities across the country. The group stages a flag ceremony at every game.
The game was part of America250, tied to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. America250 is a bipartisan initiative connected to the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission and a nonprofit supporting organization, and veteran groups including the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs have built programming around the milestone.
NJC hosted its 3rd Annual Pack the Park on May 2, 2026, with free admission and dinner for the first 500 fans, a postgame fireworks show and fundraising tied to future park upgrades. NJC is also pursuing a new community park with the City of Sterling, Logan County, Banner Health and the Sterling Correctional Facility.
