From: Joseph Glasser, Executive Producer
To: ALL American Military Veterans and Current Military Men and Women

As Executive Producer of the Biggest Little Blues Fest in the Midwest, I am honored to honor the Men and Women of Americas Armed Forces who have given so much of their lives to preserve the freedoms that so many Americans take for granted.

Therefore, I am happy to announce that this years Blues Music Festival will be dedicated to all those great Americans who have given so much of their lives to the cause of the preservation of all our freedoms.

In dedication to these great and brave Americans, we have made the decision to invite ALL current military men and women to attend the Blues Fest FREE OF CHARGE! We would prefer that they come in uniform though not required. If not in uniform, they must present a current military I.D. for free admission at the gate.

To all our great American Veterans, we invite you to attend the festival at half price. This would be a gate free for $4.00 for Friday and $6.00 for all day Saturday. All veterans must present a VA Card or Military ID to receive the half-priced admission.


Hours of the 11th Riverside Blues Festival are:

Friday, September 29th:	4:00pm to 10:00pm
Saturday, September 30th:	10:00am to 10:00pm

So bring your lawn chairs, blankets, coolers, and come out to Murphysboro's Riverside Park for a wonderful fall weekend of GREAT blues music and festive foods. As always, vendors will be present.
