In addition, there will be a raffle (top three prizes are $1000/$750/$500), silent auction, children’s games, boutique featuring many homemade crafts and clothing, tea salon, and bingo.

It is also a time to remember and honor all those who have passed on before us. All are welcome to attend the event and participate in the dancing.

Hope to see you there!
