Valleyfair Military Days:  A Tribute to Our Heroes

www.valleyfair.com

Knowing well the potential dangers in the work, an extraordinary brand of men and women step up to preserve our freedom, a cause greater than self. Valleyfair celebrates America’s best by offering what we do best: a full day of pure AWESOME with thrilling rides, super-fast water slides and ginormous waves, never-ending laughs and memories for a lifetime. During our Military Days, we honor our service members by providing free military tickets and exceptional military discounts.

On July 4-7, we will waive the regular admission fee for active military, retired military, National Guard, veterans with honorable or medical discharge and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. What’s more, our special military offers extend beyond service members to their families as well. Up to six immediate family members of military personnel can purchase tickets for only $37 per person. Just bring a valid government-issued ID to receive these tokens of our military appreciation.

To take advantage of this discount, present a valid military ID at the front gate turnstiles. If purchasing additional tickets, stop by any Valleyfair ticket window.

Belong Tour tickets available

The Minnesota Wild and the Xcel Energy Center have provided a limited number of tickets available for military connected women to the BELONG Tour being held at the Excel Energy Center on Friday, October 21st from 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. and Saturday, October 22nd from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

What is the BELONG Tour?  BELONG is a Friday night – Saturday live event bringing women together in arenas across the country.  Thousands of women will gather to hear remarkable communicators Jen Hatmaker, Shauna Niequist, Nichole Nordeman, Sharon Irving, Angela Davis, Patsy Clairmont hone in on how to live a fun, faith-filled, purposeful life.  There will be plenty of personal stories, music, laughter and maybe even some tears in this open space where women can connect to one another, to see and know each other, and carry each other’s burdens.

I have the tickets in my St Paul Office or can mail them as well. Let me know if you have any military connected women who may be interested in this inspiring event.
