Music is such a big part of our lives. What are the moments where it meant everything?\nYou can also put your name in to SING A SONG! We’ll have Michael Bone accompanying LIVE KARAOKE style!\nAnything can happen these 2 nights! Join us for a joyful evening of storytelling and connecting.\nDoors at 5:30 pm; Show at 7:00 pm\nNo Host Bar and Sweet/Savory food offerings
