Multi-platinum country music star Kip Moore will headline the “Labor of Love Music Festival” hosted by Case Construction Equipment. The festival will be held at Racine Festival Park, in Racine, Wis., on Labor Day, Sept. 7.
A donation from the event will be made to Wounded Warrior Project, and the event will focus on the importance of hiring veterans into skilled jobs in the manufacturing and construction industries.
“There is a very real skilled labor shortage in America today, from welders and machinists to heavy equipment technicians and operators,” says Jim Hasler, vice president of Case Construction Equipment North America. “It’s important we help develop that next generation of talent and our veterans may be our greatest resource. ‘Labor of Love’ is all about making that connection and helping veterans locally and throughout the United States take that next step in their professional lives.”
State and local bands, including Bella Cain and Run Carolina, will open for Moore, and additional performances and events will take place throughout the day. The Veterans Outreach Center of Wisconsin also will be hosting a 50/50 raffle to raise money for local veterans.
This is the second Labor Day event Case has partnered on with Kip Moore. The singer released a song through Case in 2014 dedicated to the men and women of the construction industry titled “On the Case.”
