7th Annual No -Show Ball: Feb. 12

One of my favorite ideas ever—don’t go out on Valentine’s Day and support the Forrest Spence Fund. On the day of the No Show Ball, the event comes to you in the form of a dinner in a cooler bag dropped off at your front door containing food from Jim’s Place Grille, Lucchesi’s, Stix, La Baguette, plus local desserts, wine, and a Chic Fit A breakfast gift card!

If you and your honey are foodies, save your V-Day date for the following weekend and celebrate with tons of local food at the annual Soup Sunday event at The Kent venue downtown. This year’s event will be limited to 300 attendees, so get your tickets ASAP.
