Veterans Day Discounts Honor Those Who Served

Saturday, November 11, marks the occasion of Veterans Day 2017.  In honor of their military service, many area restaurants are saying “Thank You” with specials, like free or discounted meals or meal upgrades, to veterans and active military personnel.

In order to qualify for the deals, veterans must generally present proof of service, such as a military ID, DD-214 separation papers, card showing membership in a veterans organization, or be in uniform.  Requirements vary by business, so it is recommended that you check with the location ahead of time for details.

Most promotions are available only on Saturday unless otherwise specified.

Other area businesses may be offering discounts or other promotions in honor of our military men and women.

 

Louder Than Life will be making it’s annual appearance at Champions Park this weekend and weather will be just about perfect.  The two-day festival features music, food and drinks.  Headlining performances will feature Ozzy Osbourne with Zakk Wylde, Rob Zombie, Incubus, Stone Sour, Halestorm, and many more.  For the foodie, food will be showcasing many local and regional favorites ranging from fried chicken, barbecue, grilled cheese, hot dogs, tacos and gelato.  For the bourbon lover, many Kentucky bourbon distilleries will be featured, including Angel’s Envy, Jim Beam, and Buffalo Trace.

Gates open at 11:00 AM on both days.  Tickets are still available and prices range from $69.50 for Sunday only, $90 for Saturday only, $120 minimum for the entire weekend, to $280 for a VIP package.  If you are planning to attend, be sure to check the information page for what items are allowed to be taken in with you, pay close attention to the bag size restrictions.
