(CAVE CREEK) – Silver Spur
Saloon & Eatery is honoring past and present
service men and women by hosting the
inaugural
“Celebrate Those in Service” Party
throughout Memorial
Day Weekend.
Beginning Friday, May 22 and
through end of day Monday, May 25, military
members, law enforcement officers,
firefighters, and others in similar service
roles will receive 50 percent off the cost
of their meal with proper identification.
The restaurant will also host a fireworks
display and several fun promotions, games
and contests throughout the weekend. Silver
Spur Saloon is located in the heart of Cave
Creek at 6245 E. Cave Creek Road in Frontier
Town.
Marc Peagler, proprietor of
Silver Spur Saloon & Eatery, said “Celebrate
Those in Service” will be the first Memorial
Day event of its kind in Cave Creek,
particularly since it will feature a small
fireworks display on Sunday night, May 24.
“This is our way of
expressing our gratitude to all those who
have worked hard to protect our freedom and
to those who have put their lives in danger
to keep us safe,” Peagler said. “And you
don’t have to be active to qualify for the
discount. Just show us your identification
or a medal or certificate. This also applies
to non-uniform law enforcement employees.”

in on the fun. The weekend schedule follows:
