ARMED FORCES DAY AT NAVY PIER PRESENTED BY THE USO OF ILLINOIS
12N-1p Spirit of the USO The entire family will love Spirit of the USO Band - the musical ambassador of the USO
of Illinois. This group of Chicago-based musicians and entertainers presents material that embodies the ideals
of the USO - respect, courage, and compassion.
2-3:30p The Navy Jazz Diplomats This band is the heart and soul of jazz at Navy Band Great Lakes. The Diplomats
play many forms of jazz from straight ahead swing to modern fusion.
4:30-6:30p Detour JazFunk embarks on a musical voyage that offers something fresh, yet familiar, to every aspect
of your musical palette...not just for the jazz lover in you. They take their listeners on a journey, off the well
worn path of those artists considered to be today’s cutting edge “smooth jazz,” by adding a touch of genuine old
school funk and soul into their mix.
7:30-10p Rico!: http://www.ricojams.com
http://myspace.com/ricojams1 will move you physically
and mentally with their hypnotic blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms, or purge deep into your soul with their eminent sense
of melody. They are influenced and inspired by all the innovative rock, soul, jazz, Afro-Cuban, blues, funk, reggae,
and hip-hop pioneers |

In 1992, Haley expanded to what is now the land base of operations for Blarney Island known as Port
of Blarney. The Port of Blarney is a year 'round restaurant and during the summer is an active marina, plus the
home to the Blarney Island's shuttle service. |
Blarney Island is located in the middle of Grass Lake, one of the many lakes on the Chain-O-Lakes, in Antioch,
Illinois. However, don't worry if you don't own a boat or don't know anyone who does. Blarney Island operates a
Shuttle Service to and from The Island. Depending on the day the Shuttle Service departs from the Port of Blarney
to Blarney Island at the top of the hour. If you are at Blarney Island the shuttle normally departs to return to
the Port of Blarney at the bottom of the hour. We provide this service for nominal fee and that
fee varies depending on the day of the week. Normal shuttle hours: Mon-Wed: 12N-8p, Thu-Sat: 12N-11p, Sun:
