There are two events listed for the North Hall at the VBC on New Year’s Eve. The salsa party after the HSO concert and the Gala benefitting Hospice. Is that correct? Thanks
Sharon- we just confirmed that the Hospice Gala is in North Hall 1 and the Salsa Party is in North Hall 3. Have a happy New year!
Hi Sharon, good question! The information that we received is that the Salsa party is in North Hall 3. The Hospice Gala is listed as North Hall, so I’m assuming that it is in North Hall 1 & 2. We’ll let you know if we find out different. We have a few messages out to confirm.
Thanks!
Laurie
Barry and the Bandits will be playing Charlotte’s Place on Jordan Lane New Year’s Eve

Is there any bars you know of holding a trivia night??
Thanks
