2027 marks the 250th anniversary of The Battles of Saratoga, also known as the Turning Point of the Revolutionary War. To recognize this celebration, we've tailored this year's logo to Saratoga's history. As always included are the boy, the girl, the duck and the squirrel but this time in traditional Revolutionary wartime attire.
