Last year’s event drew over 2,000 visitors from across the State of Wisconsin and beyond. “This is a great day for family, friends, volunteers and guests to join us for a full day of food, fun and activities,” remarked Jackie Moore, Acting Commandant. A sneak peek at the Open House line-up includes: music in the park by The Charlie Justmann Band, who will be performing a wide variety of music including polkas, waltzes, swing, country and modern rock. The “Chief Waupaca,” an authentic stern-wheel cruiser, will provide free boat rides on the beautiful Chain O’Lakes courtesy of the Clearwater Harbor. An authentic onground encampment of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, McAllister’s Battery and the King Civil War Round Table will take place along with a trip down memory lane with the car show, antique military vehicles and old tractor displays. The Fox Valley Chapter of the Harley Owners Group will be in attendance with approximately 100 of their members and cycles joining the Open House at noon. Information on the Veterans Home employment, admission, and volunteer activities will be offered. Tours of the Home’s facilities, food booths and children’s games, including the huge rainbow inflatables, will all be part of the day’s free events. Mini golf will be offered and “Uncle Sam” will greet visitors. A special addition to this year’s activities includes an opportunity to tour the Escanaba Mobile Vet Center. The Mobile Vet Center is the Department of Veterans Affairs latest effort to reach out to the underserved veteran population of rural America. “Last year was touted as THE BEST Open House ever, and we plan to make this year’s event just as great! Everyone is invited to come and join in on the fun. There truly is something for one and all,” added Moore. The Wisconsin Veterans Home at King has been proudly “Caring for America’s Heroes” for the past 123 years.
