Title
Veteran's Tuesdays in the Park
History
The Veterans Commission wishes to provide an opportunity for Veterans, their families and widows to enjoy camaraderie, free entertainment and activities in a relaxed, social setting outdoors during the summer. As such, the Commission proposes to host Veteran’s Tuesdays in the Park on June 1, 15, and July 6, and 20, 2021. Each night will include a salute to all Veterans.
Each night will feature a band, food trucks, military vehicles, military collector's displays and a booth with Veterans Commission members to welcome attendees.
Schedule of Veterans Tuesdays in the Park
*June 1st: Salute to all Veterans featuring the music of Peter Meletic, the Piano Man.
*June 15th: Salute to WWII and Korean War Veterans featuring the music of Sweet Reminders.
*July 6th: Salute to Vietnam Veterans (entertainment to be announced).
*July 20th: Salute to Gulf War Veterans, Past and Present (entertainment to be announced).

The Civic Center will serve as a rain location, as well as be available for restroom use. The Veterans Tuesdays in the Park will begin at 6:00 pm on the scheduled dates concluding at sunset.
The Veteran’s Commission approved $3,000 in support of Veterans Tuesdays in the Park.
