An upcoming Saline County concert will benefit the Kansas Honor Flight program and a homeless veterans program.
James Otto, Jared Blake, and Bigg Vinny Hickerson will be playing an acoustic concert beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday at Tumblweed, 5680 W. Old Highway 40 (the old Augustine's Furniture and former Brightbuilt Hotrods building), a short five-minute drive west of Salina.
Additionally, booths of interest to veterans will be open on site beginning at 4 p.m. Food for the event will be catered by The Culinary School at the Armory in Salina, according to information from Tumblweed.
"The proceeds from this event will go to two different purposes that are really special. The first one being the Kansas Honor Flight, which is an all-volunteer organization that works to honor Kansas veterans of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War by providing them with an all-expense-paid journey to visit their memorials in Washington D.C., and the second one being the homeless veterans program to find a home and put a roof over their heads," Tumblweed noted in a news release.
Individual tickets are $20 per person for those with military IDs and $25 per person for non-veterans. To purchase tickets, click here.
