Labor day festival benefits Wounded Warrior Project and highlights importance of veterans in the workforce

RACINE, Wis. (August 4, 2015) - CASE Construction Equipment will host the “Labor of Love Music Festival” starring multi-platinum country music star Kip Moore on Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 7, 2015) at Racine Festival Park on the city’s waterfront. A donation from the event will be made to Wounded Warrior Project, and the event will focus on the importance of hiring veterans into skilled jobs in the manufacturing and construction industries.

State and local bands, including Bella Cain and Run Carolina, will open for Moore, and additional performances and events will take place throughout the day. The Veterans Outreach Center of Wisconsin will be hosting a 50/50 raffle to raise money for local veterans.

CASE will have equipment on display and bring in a taste of Racine with local food and retail vendors throughout the festival. A ceremony honoring veterans, their service and their contributions to the American workforce will take place at 3:00 p.m. Moore will perform at 6:00 p.m. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, August 4 at 10:00 a.m. CST through Ticketmaster - all kids 10 and under are free.

This is the second Labor Day event CASE has partnered on with Kip Moore. The singer released a song through CASE in 2014 dedicated to the men and women of the construction industry titled “On the Case.”
