Dancing Through the Decades: Winter Sweetheart’s Dance
This Valentine’s season grab your sweetheart or “galentine” and join us for Dance Through the Decades. Relive those glory days of high school dances (hopefully less awkward) at this winter sweetheart’s dance!
Enjoy food, dancing, cocktails, entertainment, and more! This evening is for 21+ only so leave the kids at home and let the grown-ups show them how it’s done.
A cash bar will be available, along with an afterglow with food available.
We invite you to send in some photos of your time at The War Memorial to be including in a slideshow and online. Please email any pictures you’d like to be included to ce@warmemorial.org.
