Historic attire is encouraged but not required, modern dressy is a fine alternative. Bring a camera, you will want to photograph this event!
This year's intermission will highlight The Gilded Age show from HBO. There will be a photo backdrop available to take pictures with your own camera, as well as a professional photo booth for an additional fee. During intermission we will have a Best Dressed Contest.

This venue IS wheelchair accessible. Parking is plenty and free. For the sake of the neighbors, we encourage you to refrain from parking lot conversations late at night.

What is the refund policy?
Tickets are refundable through August 31, 2024. No refunds beginning Sept 1, 2024*, however tickets are transferable. We have sold out several times, so buying in advance is a good idea. THE FIRST 30 TICKETS SOLD WILL BE AT A DISCOUNT. We have had to make more room for a larger group by having less tables in previous years, so we do NOT guarantee a seat at a table during intermission.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
You do not need your printed ticket. Your name will be on the guest list. (If you give your ticket to someone else they must know the exact name you purchased the ticket under and will show their own ID).
Is my registration fee or ticket transferable?
Yes, however we will not be updating the new info in advance if you sell or give your ticket away. The new person should come with your name and update the name and info at the event desk.
Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?
Yes. When you check in at the event give us the purchase name and sow the ID for the new name.
What is your CHILD POLICY?
We view children as the future of our Club and welcome them to our Grand Ball when they can adhere to our child policy, as follows:
1) Children should never walk or run across the dance floor during a dance, because of the risk of tripping people.
2) The dance mistress will announce when a particular dance is too complex for children and they will need to sit and watch instead of participating in that dance.
