Thanks For Your Support: Bash 2010 "Salute To Our Military"

Porcupine Press decided to throw a birthday bash to celebrate 21 years of publishing the humorous, UP Magazine, and they decided it would be a gift-giving bash for American Veterans.... gift boxes are going up at stores all over Michigan and Wisconsin, and beyond to collect gifts for veterans in VA Homes and VA Hospitals. The Dan Lawson Band will headline BASH 2010 - Salute To Our Military - Aug. 27 to 29 at the fairgrounds in Chatham, Michigan. His band will play Friday & Saturday night at the BASH - then do a concert on Sunday for the veterans at the D.J. Jacobetti home in Marquette. The Forgotten Eagles of Michigan, the single largest contributors to the veteran's activity foundation in Michigan, will fly their colors at the noon opening ceremony of BASH 2010.

The Red, White & Blues Band (that headlined the LZ Lambeau "Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans" event in May at Green Bay, Wisconson) will close with a concert on Sunday.

Veterans who are able to make the trip from VA Homes will receive
a hero's welcome at BASH 2010.

The smell of smokey BBQ will fill the air at Rock River Recreation (fairgrounds) in Chatham -- ribs, chicken, pulled pork and all the sides are being prepared by Big Moe's (Michigan State BBQ Champs.)

Also on the big stage throughout the weekend will be The North Country Band, The Donny Hartman Band and the Willie Nash Band at Rock River Recreation (fairgrounds) at E3667 State Highway M94 in Chatham, MI.

$40 includes a full weekend of concerts, vendors and activities. Day passes, $20.

Fly in to Marquette... 30 minute drive to the fairgrounds. Or ride-in through untouched national forests with waterfalls and lakes.

There are many rental cabins and campgrounds in the area, charter fishing boats and glass bottom boat tours.

The Lion's Club will be handling the beer tents and the Shriners will be there with their clowns, raffling a 4-wheeler.. and a network of 5 radio stations and a television station have volunteered to promote and participate in the BASH, so there will be plenty of "News at 11."

The Radio Results Network radio stations are promoting this as "The Last Major Event of the Season in Upper Michigan" and they will be selling advanced tickets at their booth at the state fair.
