When Alaska’s weather is at its worst, they’re at their best. The premiere of The Weather Channel’s new series, Coast Guard Alaska, is coming to Newport on Nov. 6. Join local officials, military families and Cox Communications for this special screening in honor of Veterans Day. The new series, produced by Al Roker Entertainment, highlights the day-to-day trials, tribulations and victories of the Coast Guard Alaska team. The show is free and open to the public, however seating is limited.
“Veterans Day offers our nation a time to pause and thank our veterans for their courage and their true dedication to our nation. These men and women have fought and continue to fight for our protection and our freedom, risking their lives and saving others,” Cox Senior Vice President and General Manager Paul Cronin said. “The premiere of this show offered Cox the opportunity to bring together local military officers, the general public and government officials to witness the extraordinary bravery it takes to serve. We are thrilled to invite all Rhode Islanders to join in this celebration and sneak peak at a theater established in 1919, just after the first World War.”
