Come dressed in your favorite sports team attire and visit with our vendors at their booths while enjoying a refreshing drinks and appetizers.  Dinner with the vendors will follow at 7:00pm. 

After dinner be sure to join us on the outside patio for Fireworks overlooking the pond and the mountain. All brought to you by Northstar Fireworks!



Wednesday Night Entertainment - KAHOOT Trivia is back!

Join attendees and exhibitors for this after-fireworks social featuring KAHOOT Trivia!  Colin Drury from Ben Shaffer Recreation will be our DJ and host guiding us through the questions and playing some fun music.  This social was a big hit last year and we hear there are some teams looking for a comeback win! 

The Trivia game will take place in the Oscar Wilde Ballroom where dinner took place from approx. 9:30pm - 11:00pm after the fireworks. 

If Trivia isn't your thing, be sure to meet up with other fellow attendees at the downstairs bar, outside by the firepit, or for a evening dunk in the outdoor pool.
