The events will begin on Friday, November 6 at Mount Airy Casino Resort, located on Woodland Road in Mount Pocono, with "Red Shirt Friday." If you don't already have one of these special shirts that show support for our troops, they will be available to purchase at the Resort. The proceeds will go to benefit local Veteran charities. Join the National movement and wear RED on Fridays.
Be sure to Flash Back in time to the Vietnam era at 9 p.m. on Friday as Professor Louie and the Cromatrix bring back memories with The Spirit of Woodstock! Admission is $15.00. This is sure to be a show that you won't want to miss.
On Saturday, feel the roar and rumble of the dozens of Rolling Thunder motorcycles as they provide a military escort for disabled veterans from VA hospitals in order for them to take part in this wonderful event being held in their honor.
Saturday's headline attraction, Country Music Star Aaron Tippin will be on stage for two performances at 6 p.m. and again at 9 p.m. He is sure to remind us of how great it is to be an American as he performs his hit, "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly." Mount Airy will be providing one hundred tickets for the Tippin concerts so that disabled veterans will be able to attend at no cost.
Served up on Sunday will be a pancake breakfast at 9 a.m. - noon. Again, the proceeds will benefit veteran organizations.
In addition to all that I have mentioned, there will be military memorabilia displays both inside and outside including a Vietnam era helicopter and tank.
I have barely touched the surface of what will be taking place at Mount Airy this weekend, so please visit www.mountairycasino.com for more details as well as directions.
A special note to the Veterans of Monroe County, Monroe County Transportation and Pony Express who will be offering round trip service from your home to Mount Airy and home again. This service will be provided 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Saturday, November 7. For more information, please call 570.839.6282 x326.
Come on out this weekend and join the great folks at Mount Airy Casino Resort as they honor and salute our Veterans. I hope to see you there!
