Some things you can look forward too: local live music and dancing, a top end dinner featuring your choice of prime rib or fresh salmon, indoor and outdoor dining and community mingling by the fireside, a full-service bar provided by Bud Jackson’s, and a fun engaging live auction as well as a silent auction featuring our beloved local potter’s art as well as many other local favorites.”
