The 3rd Annual Heroes of the Valley event is scheduled for May 24, 2009, beginning at 2PM. The event is free this year (tickets need to be purchased for the multimedia theater presentation and the tri tip barbeque).
Inga Barks, of NewsTalk 580 KMJ, will again be emceeing the theater presentation which will include military ceremony, live music, and multimedia tributes to our veterans.
Please visit the event website at http://www.heroesofthevalley.com for more information. Tickets for the theater and BBQ can be purchased online. The theater only holds about 500 people so to ensure a seat we recommend tickets be purchased in advance of the event.
Proceeds will help with much needed maintenance expenses for the Veterans Memorial Museum in Fresno. Even if you can not attend, you can make a donation to the museum at the website. All donations and purchases made prior to the event will be matched by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, a major sponsor of the event.
