For the Boys at Lincolnshire Marriott

It was 1942. The world was at war and Eddie Sparks was on top. Nobody could out-sing, out-step, or out-charm Eddie, America’s premier entertainer…until Dixie Leonard came along. Together they entertained American troops, in times of war and peace, and the world was their stage. Their act was sensational and their rela-tionship extraordinary. Offstage, they fought their own personal war, but when the nation needed them they were there. For over 30 years, three wars, and hundreds of shows…they did it all “For the Boys.”

Lunch will be held at the Fairfield Inn Restaurant. An abbreviated menu will be available for your dining pleasure. Menu items include Cobb Salad, The Marriott Burger, The Modern Slider, Real Roast Turkey, Lemon Grass Chicken Sandwich, Rigatoni with Sausage, Chicken Pot Pie and All Angus Meatloaf.

Date: Wed., Aug. 31 Code: 205440.A Time: 10:30AM-5PM Cost: $80—Members; $96—Non-Members
