The 2008 Philadelphia Hero Thrill Show

The 2008 Philadelphia Hero Thrill Show will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2008 from 12:00-5:00pm at the Wachovia Center in South Philadelphia. The revamped show will bring back memories for those that came to the shows of the past and the show will be an unforgettable event for those that have never attended. The Show offers something for everyone: music, food, amusements, and most importantly, thrills.

Members of the Philadelphia Fire and Police Departments will provide the thrill through acts of bravery and professionalism while demonstrating what makes them all heroes.  The Hero Thrill Show has been reborn to carry on the proud tradition of raising funds to support the education of the survivors of those killed in the line of duty protecting Philadelphia.  For more information:  http://www.herothrillshow.org.
