Grafton, Ill., June 16, 2011 ... As St. Louis gears up to pay tribute to area marines during Marine Week, which runs from June 20 - June 26, we are reminded of the daily sacrifices made by all of our military men and women. And, to show its support for the unwavering efforts of our local heroes, Raging Rivers WaterPark is once again offering active military personnel and their families discounted admission prices. An active military identification card will give each member of the serviceperson's immediate family the chance to spend a full day of fun at the water park for only $11 plus tax per person throughout the 2011 season.
"This discount is just one simple way to show our appreciation for our families, neighbors and friends in the military who are sacrificing so much to keep us safe," stated Larry Smith, president and general manager of Raging Rivers WaterPark. "We are pleased to offer this discount program because we truly admire our military personnel. We hope these everyday heroes can escape to the park for the day and enjoy quality time with their families."
