Jukebox Revue to Kick Off 2012 Community-Sponsored Honor Flight

The Westerville community – including the City, schools, citizens, businesses, service clubs and others – will host its third annual concert, the Jukebox Revue, to benefit Honor Flight Columbus on Sunday, Jan. 29 at 2:30 p.m. at Westerville Central High School. Proceeds from the event will benefit the 2012 community-sponsored Honor Flight, a program honoring veterans of World War II with a guided tour of the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The show is produced each year in the tradition of The Ed Sullivan Show, featuring musicians, bands, dancers, singers and other entertainers. Granville piano prodigy, 8-year-old Gavin George, will make his third appearance as a featured performer. This year’s concert introduces local entertainer Eric Gnezda as MC.

Tickets for the event are available at Westerville City Hall (second floor) or by calling (614) 523-6800. Prices are $20 general admission and $10 senior, child or veteran. World War II veterans are admitted free of charge. For more information, visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/westervilleforhonorflight.

The 2011 flight will be the fourth the community of Westerville has sponsored, with the last three flights sending more than 300 World War II veterans to the nation’s capital for their day of honor.
