This year’s theme is 1940’s era, complete with an 8-piece brass band. There will also be a performance by children from the Mancini Academy.

Talon started Project Puzzlebook, collecting puzzle books, playing cards and card games, board games and handmade thank you cards. Collected items are delivered to local VA hospitals. One delivery has already been made, and the next will happen on Veterans Day in November. Talon plans to deliver collected items bi-annually.
