Savings flow at riverfront music fest

The riverfront in Alton, Ill., will come alive with jazz, swing, blues and rock during the Labor of Love Music Festival this fall, and the discounts AAA members receive on tickets will be even more music to their ears.

The music festival, which will be held on Sunday, Sept. 6, will be a showcase of nearly a dozen bands and performers, including the Ralph Butler Band and Hudson and the Hoodoo Cats. The show will be from 5:30–9:30 p.m. at the Alton Riverfront Park, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit KidSmart, an organization that provides school supplies to disadvantaged students in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

The amphitheater has lawn seating, so bring a blanket or chair. Concessions will be available; outside coolers are prohibited.

Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. AAA members receive a $7 discount at the door when they show their AAA card. For more details or tickets, click on www.riverfrontamphitheater.com.

Learn how to use your AAA membership to the max

Each AAA membership comes with a smorgasbord of services and savings, but many members don’t realize what they’re leaving on the table when they don’t use their AAA card to the max.
To help members get the most out of their membership, AAA is hosting informal presentations at select offices called Maximize Your Membership. The presentations examine how your membership can enhance your life. The next meetings will be held on Thursday, Sept. 17.
Among the topics will be exclusive travel discounts, automotive services and the Show Your Card & Save® program, which offers savings at thousands of retailers. Please RSVP for the meetings at these offices:
