Trace Adkins, Attica’s Badlands Honoring Troops 

Badlands Off-Road Park in Attica, in partnership with Can-Am, is excited to announce the 5th Annual Tribute to the Troops, which will take place on Saturday, July 5.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to honor those who protect us,” said Kyle Knosp, owner of Badlands Off-Road Park. “2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Badlands Off-Road Park, so this is a special year for us. We’re excited to host the event during the July 4th weekend to ramp up the patriotism!”

Country music superstar Trace Adkins will headline the event. Adkins has sold over 11 million albums, charted more than 20 singles, and earned numerous awards and Grammy nominations, accumulating over two billion streams. Opening for Adkins will be Cody Webb, who is currently enjoying over 29 million streams and is featured on more than 200,000 playlists.

While the music lineup is impressive, the Tribute to the Troops event is primarily a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country. It’s designed for everyone who wishes to enjoy quality entertainment dedicated to celebrating and remembering military members. Badlands will be giving away 1,000 free tickets to military members as a gesture of thanks! To claim a promo code for a free ticket, simply complete the verification process on the event website via VerifyPass.

The fun doesn’t stop at the show! Badlands Off-Road Park, in partnership with Can-Am, will host a charity raffle for a chance to win a side-by-side dream machine. The 72” Can-Am Maverick X3 RS Turbo, valued at over $31,000, has been generously donated by Can-Am for this annual event. One hundred percent of the ticket proceeds will go to the charitable organization Road Warriors.

Road Warriors provides “adventure therapy” to military veterans, empowering them through challenges that honor their service. Whether dealing with physical injuries or other types of trauma, the organization aims to provide adventurous experiences, such as off-roading, to help replace negative memories with positive ones. Road Warriors brought a group to Badlands in the fall of 2023 and looks forward to many more visits.

“It was truly amazing to welcome a group of soldiers to Badlands during a previous off-roading excursion. The joy that off-roading brought to these men and women was incredible. Our hats go off to the Road Warriors for providing these types of experiences to the courageous individuals who serve our nation,” said Kyle.

Tickets for the charity raffle start at just $10.00 and can soon be purchased at roadwarrior.org. The winner of the Can-Am Maverick X3 will be announced at the 2025 Tribute to the Troops event.

With Badlands’ event field adjacent to the 1,500-acre park, off-roaders can enjoy a full day of riding before the evening entertainment begins and can stay for another day of exploration after the event! Next door, Off the Trail Vacation Rentals and Campground offers a wide variety of lodging and campsites for ultimate convenience.
