LAKE COUNTY – On Sunday, Nov. 15, Operation Tango Mike supporters will board a luxury motor coach en route to the Oakland Raiders Military Salute Game. The Raiders will face the rival Kansas City Chiefs. You can be one of the lucky few to join in the fun!
The Oakland Raiders had contacted Operation Tango Mike in 2008 and personally extended an invitation to attend their Military Salute Game.
As unlikely as it may seem, the Raiders staff had learned of Operation Tango Mike and the Lake County effort to support the troops. As such, the Raiders believed an invitation to attend the game and enjoy the festivities was in order.
In 2008, a full bus traveled to the Oakland Coliseum where pre-game and half-time activities honored troops and veterans. Bruno’s Shop Smart provided snacks for the travelers, and has agreed to do the same this year.
Everyone enjoyed the trip and the game, along with a special treat. During the third quarter, Operation Tango Mike was featured in a welcome message on the Oakland Coliseum scoreboard.
By popular demand and a repeat invitation, the trip will take place again this year. Seating is limited to the first 50 participants, so don’t delay if you wish to enjoy a fun road trip, tribute to our troops and NFL football. Prompt purchase is recommended as this trip sold out quickly last year.
Complete ticket packages are available at $100 each. This year, each package includes travel by luxury motor coach, snacks and water, reserved seating with Operation Tango Mike, and a food voucher for a meal at the game. Ice chests will be provided on the motor coach and participants may bring beverages as well. Best of all, there is no stress or hassle as the navigating, driving and parking is handled by the chauffeur.
Ticket packages may be purchased at Umpqua Bank, 805 11th Street, Lakeport. Purchases may be made by cash or check and your name on the seating list will guarantee your ticket package and transportation. Departure time will be 8 a.m. on November 15th, with an expected return time of 7 p.m.
