The event will take place on Monday, April 26th at 8pm (doors will open at 7:15pm). Town has graciously donated their space and food will be sponsored by Joaquin "Jocko" Fajardo. The evening's festivities will also include an exciting raffle with prizes including Fiddler tickets, signed posters, t-shirts, private cooking lessons, Zagat guides, dinners for two, and more!
