'Legendary' Toppenish Casino Nabs Performance from Patti LaBelle

Stop the presses-this is big news for a lot of us! The divine Ms. Patti LaBelle is coming to town!

If you like Patti LaBelle, this is big news: She's booked a special performance at Legends Casino Hotel for June. This isn't an "enter to win" contest article, I'm just a big fan who is literally excited to find out that she's coming to Toppenish. In case you couldn't tell already, I'm pretty stoked that she's coming this way.

I'm old enough to remember when Patti Pies were the hottest Thanksgiving dessert around. I think I grabbed one at "the Walmarts."

Remember this guy, James Wright, who was singing and praising the Patti Pies? Ha, this video is a classic (but some of the language is definitely NSFW!!)

I need tickets to this show not just for me, but for my deceased dad Herschel, who was a big fan of hers. Patti will be coming to Toppenish fresh off a summer pause of The Queens tour with Gladys Knight, Stephanie Mills, and Chaka Khan.
