Naples Depot the scene of traditional USO Show

The Collier County Museum presents the fourth annual Veterans Day USO Show from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the Naples Depot. Residents and visitors, veterans and non-veterans alike, will delight in the show featuring WGUF radio talk show host Dave Elliott as master of ceremonies and performers recreating the sounds of the Andrew Sisters, Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland.

The celebration recalls actual events during World War II, when soldiers received pilot training at the airfield on Airport Road, now known as the Naples Municipal Airport. On Saturday nights, they were bused to the Naples Depot for a similar USO show.

Voiceover artist Peter Thomas will interview local veterans about their experiences in WWII.

This is a free event. Refreshments will be available. Seating is limited, and lawn chairs are encouraged. 
