The Laughs and Liberty Tour featuring Jimmy Failla and FOX Business contributor and MTV V-Jay Kennedy is coming to the Utica's Stanley Theatre on Veteran's Day, November 11th. A program, dreamed up by two local business people, is encouraging people to purchase tickets for a local veteran, allowing those who've served to attend the show on Veteran's Day at no charge.

Bill and Robin Mongeau of River Hills Properties came up with the idea, and the concept has been made pretty simple so that local veterans benefit.

Here's how you can help out a veteran, and give the gift of laughter. Tickets can only be purchased directly through the Stanley Theatre. Either visit the Stanley on Genesee Street in Utica or call them at 315-724-4000 and ask to purchase "Hero Tickets" for a veteran. People can purchase one or more tickets starting at $45 and all ticket donations will be distributed to local veterans in need, based on information received from various veterans organizations. Be sure to refer to the "Hero Tickets" program.
