As preparations continue for the upcoming Memorial Day ceremonies and the commemoration of “250 Years of Honor and Service,” we extend a heartfelt thank you to Izzo & Son Country Gardens and John Kondub of the VFW Auxiliary for their generous support and dedication to the community.
Their gracious assistance with seasonal flower planting, landscaping support and painting of the Post’s authentic 1770 Revolutionary War cannon has helped prepare the VFW grounds for Memorial Day on Monday, May 25th and this year’s special patriotic observances honoring America’s 250th Anniversary!
Black Dog Band proudly pays tribute to the mighty Led Zeppelin with an extensive catalogue of songs comprised of classic masterpieces like “Dazed and Confused”, “Heartbreaker”, and “Stairway to Heaven”, as well as the less heard B-sides to satisfy the more discerning fans. There will never be another Led Zeppelin!
The members established the band in early 2000, and they are all accomplished musicians with considerable experience. Black Dog is the definitive Led Zeppelin tribute band.
Keeping the music of Led Zeppelin Live!
