U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, like all members of Congress, is able to nominate young men and women to attend one of the nation’s service academies.

On Saturday, the Republican from Rogers is holding what he calls 2017 Academy Day, a chance to learn about how the process works.

“Young men and women who are interested in pursuing appointmen­ts to the United States Service Academies, as well as those interested in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) scholarshi­ps, are encouraged to attend. The events are open to the public,” Womack’s office said in a news release.

Womack will start at Southside High School at 4100 Gary St. in Fort Smith, from 9-11 a.m.

He’ll head north to the Armed Forces Reserve Center’s Assembly Hall/Auditorium at 6800 SW Minuteman Ave. in Bentonvill­e, for a similar event that runs from 2-4 p.m.
