‘Plattsburgh’s Got Talent’ Benefits North Country Honor Flight

“Plattsburgh’s Got Talent,” SUNY Plattsburgh’s annual student and community talent show, will be held Friday, Nov. 7 beginning at 7 p.m. in E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium in Hawkins Hall.

Organized by the university Interfraternity Council and Inter-Sorority Association, talented individuals and groups auditioned for spots on stage. For the first time, organizers opened auditions to members of the Plattsburgh community.

Prizes for first, second and third place will be awarded in amounts of $500, $250 and $100, respectively, with a $50 audience choice winner as well. The 2024 first-place winner and current Interfraternity Council President Logan Toleman will emcee the evening in partnership with Eddie Heydens, one of the council’s vice presidents.

Tickets are not required but donations will be accepted to benefit North Country Honor Flight.

North Country Honor Flight provides free, safe transportation for veterans to visit national monuments in Washington, D.C.  Top priority is given to World War II and Korean War veterans. Vietnam veterans are encouraged to submit applications as well to secure placement on future flight lists.

Each veteran travels with a dedicated, capable guardian responsible for his or her comfort and safety. Every Honor Flight group is accompanied by medical personnel, and wheel chairs and oxygen are always available. Honor Flight trips depart and return on the same day, so no overnight stay is required while traveling, and all necessary transportation is provided to and from the local airport as well as within Washington, D.C.
