Get ready for an electrifying whodunit where every twist could be your last!

They will be accompanied by the Russell Broom House Band, which will feature nine pieces including a horn section.

The Last Waltz Remembered all-star lineup will tackle the biggest songs from that fateful night in 1976 like “Helpless,” “The Weight,” “Caravan,” “Forever Young,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” and “I Shall be Released” while paying homage to the artists that created them.

This is a very important couple of days for the Community Association. We typically raise between $60,000 and $80,000 during a casino event however without volunteer help we could not support this casino and therefore would not be able to raise this kind of money.

If you love to volunteer or want a fun day/night out from the family or even date with the spouse, this is the event for you to volunteer at!
