Oct 26
3 min read

Looking for a meaningful way to spend Veterans Day in Edinburgh, Indiana? Come see us on Wednesday, November 11. A Huey helicopter is landing right next to ChampionZone Virtual Golf & Patriot Café, and we are holding a ceremony to honor the men and women who served. All are welcome. 🇺🇸


Our plans were recently featured in The Republic, and we are grateful for the shout-out. Here is everything you need to know.


Veterans Day at ChampionZone: The Schedule

Here is how the afternoon will go on Wednesday, November 11:

  • 1:00 PM: Huey helicopter arrival. The Huey lands next to ChampionZone. Bring the family and bring your camera.

  • 1:30 PM: Ceremony begins. Expect a bugler, the presentation of the colors, a keynote from Major General Mark Pillar, and a folded flag ceremony with the American Legion Honor Guard.


The Huey, formally known as the UH-1 Iroquois, is one of the most recognizable helicopters in American military history. Seeing one up close, and hearing it, is something you will remember.


The ceremony happens rain or shine. If it is cold or wet, we will move it inside.


Patriot Café Veterans Day Specials

Make a day of it. Patriot Café is our full-service restaurant and bar, and on Veterans Day we are thanking veterans in a few ways:

  • Veterans Day Lunch Feature, $12.99: Fried Chicken Breast served on a bed of Mashed Potatoes with gravy, Green Beans, and Potato Salad

  • Half-price draft beers for veterans

  • 1 hour of free simulator time for veterans


Lunch is served from 11 AM to 3 PM, so you can eat before the ceremony begins. We recommend reserving a table. Call us at 812-703-1411.


Everyday Lunch Specials in Edinburgh

Can’t make it on the 11th? Our Lunch Specials are $11.99, Monday through Friday. Patriot Café also has an outdoor fire pit, an indoor putting green, and live sports watch parties, so there is always a reason to stay a little longer.


Why We Honor Veterans at ChampionZone

ChampionZone proudly supports Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to the families of fallen and disabled service members. It is the heart of our “play with purpose” approach, and Veterans Day is one of our favorite days of the year.
