Event Description:
Sunday, May 5th, the Latah County Fair Building will be set up and decorated to resemble a USO Canteen of the World War II years. The date is significant, since it is the eve of the anniversary of Bob Hope's first USO show at March Field Air Base in California in 1941. The Hog Heaven Big Band will be performing music of the 1930s and 1940s for your listening and dancing pleasure from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m or so. All funds raised during the benefit (admissions, donations, etc.) will go to Inland Northwest Honor Flight, the program out of Spokane that takes World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the World War Two Memorial and other national monuments.
