NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio — Featuring the Legacies of Legends, the fourth annual Northeast Ohio Vet Fest is almost here!
The list of performers is long, and includes the grandson of Waylon Jennings, Whey Jennings. Thomas Gabriel, the grandson of Johnny Cash, is scheduled to appear, as is Jesse Keith Whitley, the son of Lorrie Morgan and the late Keith Whitley.
The 2-day event is scheduled for Aug. 22 and 23 at Victory Park in North Ridgeville. It’s a festival of music and fun, but its purpose is so much bigger.
The event features 10 artists and more than 100 songs performed live.
Here's the Friday lineup:
- Bad Juji
- Modern Vinyl
- Jozey & The Corruption
- Rik Oshay
Here's the Saturday lineup:
- Whey Jennings
- Thomas Gabriel
- Hank Williams IV
- Jesse Keith Whitley
- Kentucky Music Mafia
- Tom Proctor
The event brings people together to celebrate the sacrifices of U.S. military veterans and raise money for veterans in need.
But that’s not all.
Vet Fest founder and president Tom Petrus, a U.S. Navy veteran himself, says, “Just as important as raising the money is spreading the awareness and letting these veterans know they’re not alone.”
Petrus said that 100% of the proceeds from the event go to vetted organizations that help veterans in need, particularly those in crisis.
“We’re tired of losing our brothers and sisters,” Petrus said.
