Today, Saturday, March 8 is the final day to purchase Extravaganza tickets at the discounted price. We hope you will join us for a festive evening as we celebrate Embers and honor Mrs. Tammy Dabe on her 20-year tenure as preschool teacher. Each ticket includes a full open bar and featured cocktail, passed hors d’oeuvres and four-course dinner, live music by the Northridge Jazz Combo, and video entertainment from our very own Sparks. It promises to be the perfect night out for couples and friends. We hope to see you “at the races”!
