Chain-O-Lakes Chorus Director Jay Heare stated, “This program will be a real honor for us to perform, as we dedicate the entire show to our nation’s veterans. We are proud to be Americans and we are especially proud of the men and woman who have served, and are serving our country to preserve the freedoms we enjoy. This is our chance to celebrate with them and say, ‘Thank you!’” Doors open at 2 p.m. and the show will begin at 2:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door.
