OPINIONS WANTED!!!

This event is getting a lot of good feedback already! Sooooo a question??!

Should we do a buffet style dinner and sell tickets to that portion? Would you REALLY buy tickets? Or do you still prefer to go somewhere a little more “fancy” for dinner and then end up here?

PLEASE SHARE SO THAT WE GET GOOD, HONEST FEEDBACK!!!

🍾🎊💃🤵‍♂️
