Frazier Canteen: 1940s USO-style Dinner & Dance Fundraiser
2/13/2010            7 to 10 p.m.
Join us for a World War II era canteen dance on Valentine’s Weekend!

Dance the night away to the big band sounds of the amazing 17-piece Don Krekel Orchestra, while enjoying a cash bar, a “donut bar,” where you can decorate and top your own donut and a delicious canteen-style buffet, including a Victory Gardens tossed salad, homestyle meatloaf, chicken casserole, mac and cheese, green bean casserole and yummy bread!

WWII dress is encouraged, but not required. Professional dancers from the All That Dance studio will be on-hand to entertain the crowd with their amazing swing dancing talent!

Tickets are $45 per person or just $85 per couple. Member tickets are $40 each. Gallery admission and a souvenir photo are included. Reserved tables are $450, including 8 seats and 8 free drink tickets. Ask about sponsorship opportunities and military/veteran discounts.

Please bring much-needed items for our service men and women serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Please see list for items.

Space is limited, so get your tickets by calling (502) 753-5663 TODAY! Proceeds benefit the Frazier International History Museum, now presenting the original exhibit, WWII: 48 Local Stories.
