To keep the party going, the event will feature live entertainment by Trey Knepp, scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m.

Born in Loogootee, Indiana, Trey’s musical journey began watching his older cousins play which inspired him to make music his creative outlet. Stumbling upon an old guitar in his grandfather’s basement, he knew that this instrument would be the key to opening some weathered screen doors to a musical future.

Trey was intrigued by bluegrass and taught himself to play guitar at only 14. As he grew older, he realized that his love for icons like Lonesome River Band and Bill Emerson had transformed him. To date, he has written several songs, including the two on his upcoming EP. Trey has his eyes on the prize with a 2023 tour through the mid-west to Texas as well as an east coast path through the Carolinas and Georgia. 

Come and enjoy a day filled with fun and festivities as the Odon VFW marks 76 years of community service.
