Comedy Program/Fundraiser for Iron Range Veterans Memorial

We need a good turnout! Yes, it is the night before the opening of Mn. deer hunting. We can't help that! Ken Davis (former Zim resident) and now a professional entertainer has donated the entire ticket sales from the November 7, 2008 comedy concert, "Ken Davis Unplugged" to our IRVM! It is a very generous gift to aid us in the completion of the 26' x 15' bronze sculpture "Shoulder to Shoulder Even the Fallen Stand Tall".
The concert date was open in his busy speaking schedule and also was selected because of Veterans' Day Nov. 11. Ken's father was in the Bataan Death March. Mr. Davis promises a clean family night of comedy and also a very serious and heartfelt tribute to those who have served from Northeastern Mn. Please be a part of something important and something that will stretch into the future as a beautiful honor to the many from your Iron Range area who have served their country.
Tickets are sold at the Silver Lake Floral Chestnut St., Virginia or 97.3 KDNW Radio East Central, Duluth, Mn. 1-800-425-0873 for ticket info. Program is 7 p.m. Friday Nov. 7 at the Goodman Auditorium, Virginia H.S. $18 (general) in advance, $20 at the door, $25 gold seating, $15 for groups of ten. (www.kendavistickets.com). Hope to see you there!
The IRVM (artist; Gareth Andrews) is underway at the Crucible Foundry, Norman Oklahoma and scheduled for completion and delivery around Dec. 2009 or early spring 2010. Imagine how proud you all will be to have a world class tourist destination and local tribute to every branch of the service, both sexes, many ethnic groups and all conflicts of the last century! Imagine further how proud you all will be if you have purchased a memorial paver (IRVM Bx. 35 Virginia, Mn. 55792), made a donation, or played a part in any way (including the Nov. 7 ticket purchase) toward the costs of the Iron Range Veterans Memorial Park and bronze sculpture! Let's fill the house at the Goodman Auditorium for this very worthwhile fund raiser! Thank you to Mr. Davis, organizing committee, donors and "you" for buying tickets and attending.
