This spectacular event will include more than 37 food booths (with selections from your favorite local restaurants), live jazz music by the Shinn/Turner Dixieland Band, a large silent auction, cash bars plus a variety of activities and prizes. Colorful masks and beads will be available to make the evening even more festive.

The expanded Children’s Area includes bouncers, climbers and face & hair painting to keep the kids entertained.
