“Field of Bands” will be held noon to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Baytown Township. Also playing: Arch Allies, Wayward Boyz Klub and GNO (Girls Night Out). Adler and his band, who perform Guns N’ Roses classics, are scheduled to play from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m.
The fundraiser helps the Yellow Ribbon Alliance Lower St. Croix Valley provide scholarships for local graduating seniors; donate to organizations like Operation 23 to Zero, Patriot Assistance Dogs, and Homes For Our Troops; and host a Veterans’ Dinner each November, said Cindie Reiter, a member of the alliance.
The alliance also helps cover medical needs for a local family with a young child battling cancer; provides transportation for local Veterans needing medical care; carpentry and construction for families’ homes including plumbing/roofing, and has assisted a family clearing debris after a house fire, Reiter said.
Tickets are $31.80 in advance and $42.40 on the day of show; children 12 and under are free. Food trucks, wine and beer will be available at the event; no coolers will be allowed.
Attendees are asked to use the south entrance of the Washington County Fairgrounds on 40th Street and to bring their own chairs; limited picnic table seating is available. Parking is free.
New this year: No guns or weapons. A metal-detector wand will be used on all who enter.
