We’re really excited about this one, and we finally have details to share! Our 2nd Veteran Appreciation Night will be November 8, 2025.

Our resource fair will be held during the monthly Second Saturday event, so it will be a great opportunity to reach a wider audience! Then we will gather for a dinner catered by Olive Garden before Six Miles East takes the stage. A band fronted by a female veteran, Six Miles East is a band formed with a like minded musical forte, covering almost every genre from country and southern, classic, pop, and hair band rock, and all the in-betweens. Over the years, collectively, they’ve opened for Aaron Tippin, Diamond Rio, Drew Baldridge, Jamie O’Neal, Brandon Davis, Craig Morgan, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, Riccochet, James Otto, and most recently, Eric Burgett. Next year brings the opportunity to open for Why Jennings, grandson of the great Waylon Jennings. Six Miles East brings passion to their music, as well as lots of fun, and is made up of mostly family.
