GREEN RIVER, WYOMING — The 9th annual Music for Vets was another success this year. The place was packed and the bands did a fantastic job performing, including South Pass, Atlas Falls, Zamtrip, Ginger and the Gents, and Otherwise, with an afterparty featuring The Real Doug Lang.

The first annual Music for Vets raised around $1,200. By the end of the night, Music For Vets ’23 grossed a total of over $66,000, exceeding Music for Vets 2022 by $24,000!

Whisler Chevrolet held their annual Car Show in June. Whisler Chevrolet Car Show raised over $18,000 alone. 675 people attended the venue to help support this wonderful cause, leaving nothing but a packed house. Those included about 575 ticket holders and around 100 people for the band members, staff, and volunteers.

Proceeds will be used in the Local Veterans Relief Fund Music For Vets / MFV to help Veterans and Veteran Families in need in and around our community in Sweetwater County. If anyone knows of a Veteran in need in our community, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Tom Whitmore Post 28 of The American Legion Green River, Archie Hay Post 24 of the American Legion, or VFW 2321 Green River. All proceeds are to help the local area and our veterans.

Those at the American Legion would like to give a Big Thank you to the bands that supported the event, Otherwise, Ginger and the Gents, Zamtrip, Atlas Falls, and South Pass.

The American Legion would like to thank all of its sponsors.
