THE UNCLE SAM FOUNDATION OF TROY NEW YORK
For those who love our country and want to know more about Uncle Sam.
UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU TO PICNIC!
The Uncle Sam Memorial Foundation, Inc. will hold a fund raising event on Sunday, July 12, 2009, from noon until 6:00 PM at Prospect Park—off Congress Street in Troy. Troy’s Premier Chef, Michael Lo Porto, will be at the grill. Zita and salads will be provided by the Terminal Tavern. A DJ, music, prizes, and an appearance by Donny Elvis will make this day fun for the whole family. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children, available at the door. Ticket includes food, soda, entertainment, and entry to prize drawings. Proceeds raised will be used to help defray the costs of making and installing markers along the Uncle Sam Trail to identify the locations where Sam Wilson lived, worked, worshiped, and participated in the life of Troy. Prospect Park is the site of Sam Wilson’s first home in Troy—the perfect location for a picnic to honor this remarkable man. Please show your support for Uncle Sam, Troy’s own national treasure, by attending this special picnic.
