The East Jordan Freedom Festival recognizes and appreciates the contributions and sacrifices made by our members of the United States Military Forces. It is with great pride that the 2013 Freedom Festival salutes the
military veterans of the area as its Grand Marshals.
All veterans are invited to be a part of the Grand Parade on Saturday,
June 22. Parade time is 3:00 PM. Transportation will be provided from the
VFW Hall on M-32 in East Jordan by a Charlevoix County Transit Bus.
The bus will load up from 2:15 PM – 2:30 PM and will take veterans to the
parade entry. For more information contact Shannon at 536-7351.

Memorial Park Stage
L.O.R.E.N.T.E that is how it’s
spelled, with that name comes an
entertainer whom over the years
of performing, wri"ng and studying
his cra# brings a show like no other.
Backed by an incredible stack of talent in his band the Usual Suspects,
the list of major ar"sts he con"nues
to share the stage with includes ar"sts such as Luke Bryan, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gretchen Wilson. Playing where ever the music takes
him, B93 Birthday Bash in front of 80,000 people to the home grown fairs
and fes"vals throughout the region and of course every honky-tonk, club
and venue that he can put 5 guys on a stage, the 2:45 tour con"nues.
His latest release 2:45, is a strong mix of hard hi%ng country rock
grooves and slow love songs. The album’s most popular track Stay with
Me Tonight, has received industry, radio and fan praise. This second studio
album from Lorente has everything a modern country fan is looking for.
Lorente’s simple promise to his fans that travel out to see his shows,
to always make sure they leave a show entertained and sa"sfied they got
their money’s worth.
His next studio album is due out late 2014. For more informa"on on
