The event, which falls on the eve of Armed Forces Day on Saturday, May 18, celebrates the USO, which provides support services and entertains troops in the U.S. and overseas. The annual gathering continues The Wesley Community tradition of hosting a celebratory evening each year as a way for Capital Region residents to welcome the arrival of spring.
The evening will feature a special flag presentation by the Saratoga National Cemetery Honor Guard Association, a dance performance by Saratoga Savoy, and live music from jazz duo Joe Gitto and Vinnie Spero. Other fun activities will include singing and dancing, a trivia contest, games, and giveaway prizes.
Guests will also enjoy a sit-down dinner of pot roast, mashed potatoes, corn, dinner rolls and apple dumpling with ice cream. Tables may be reserved for parties of four individuals or more.
The event is open to the general public. Tickets are available for $15 per person or $25 for two people. Limited seating is available and reservations are required. To reserve tickets, please call 518-691-1565 by Tuesday, May 14.
