Thanks to everyone for their posts.
I did not carry at the event today, I figured I would be surrounded by plenty of other vets ( which was the case) and it would be a relatively safe event. It all went very well!
There were some anti-Trump protests at the same area the day or two before, so I kept a careful watch over all the kids.
Since I did not carry, I decided to go to the school early and signed in to print off my "volunteer" badge, which by the way requires a background check in order to be eligible to be a volunteer.
Next year, I think I will not volunteer but just be an attendee, so I will likely CC, if it is not sponsored by the school.
Thanks again to everyone!

CC on county property during school activity
My child is attending a Veterans Day function on county property (county courthouse lawn), during school hours. He is with his school choir and they will be singing. According to what I read (pasted below) I would be in violation of the law to CC and also attend this function ("any grounds"). Do I read this correctly?
However, what if I had no child in this activity and I was just a non-interested person that happen to be walking by, what then?
Perhaps "sponsored" is the key work here?
Any thoughts?
