Commemorating the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001, the Heroes Music Festival combines inspirational musical acts and patriotic activities to honor America's fallen and future heroes. Festival-goers can wrap their ears around an inspirational lineup of rock, pop, and country artists from around the nation's cavernous network of musician mines. On Thursday, Darryl Worley and Rodney Atkins' contemporary country and The Grascals' award-winning instrumental bluegrass kick off the weekend; guitarist Jonny Lang rounds out Friday's acts with his novel brand of gospel-tinged blues. Skillet infuses Saturday's schedule with faith-based rock, while Saving Abel and Drowning Pool ring out with passionate guitars and chugging rock rhythms. Sunday's lineup closes the festival with performances from Christian-rock mainstays Rapture Ruckus, 7eventh Time Down, and Building 429.
Between musical acts, guests can slip down a 40-foot waterslide or file their taxes in an inflatable boxing ring. The weekend also includes several homages to America's heroes. Camping options allow visitors to remain steadfastly near the festival in outdoorsy style, staying in RVs or tents at the nearby campgrounds. It is recommended that customers bring their own chairs, as there is open seating at the in-field track. Check out the FAQs for more information on the event.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing Produce
There's no worse feeling than when you buy what you assume is perfectly ripe produce only to discover it's too hard or have it dissolve into a pile of ashes in your grocery bag. Here are some tips for filling your basket with ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables:
- Broccoli: Drag the vegetable florets-side-up across your arm. Each should be firm enough to rid your forearm of unwanted hair.
- Cherry: You'll have to tear through the tasteless, inedible outer layer to test the cherry's high-protein, peanut-like core. Once you expose the cherry nut, swallow it and rate the pain you feel as it gradually moves down your throat. If it's less than a seven, it's too ripe.
- Apple: Smell an apple. Does it smell apple?
- Cantaloupe: Knock on it to determine if it's hollow. If it is, there's a gerbil living inside subsisting on the fruit's ripe core. Hurry up! You'll have to eat quickly to beat the gerbil.
- Pumpkin: This orange, round gourd shouldn't deflate easily, so repeatedly stab it with something sharp, such as a hunting knife or the tools doctors use to open their mail.
