Dust off your top hat, grab your calendar and circle February 1, 2025 to save the date for the Second Annual Groundhog’s Day Gala at the Whiting Knights of Columbus Hall.
Just like the first one, this fundraiser will be a “hole” lot of fun and include dinner, entertainment, and an open bar. All money raised will go towards supporting our new Whiting-Robertsdale History Museum opening in 2025.
Tickets for the Gala will go on sale in December. Grab them early because the first Gala was a sell out! Individual tickets are $100 and tables are $800 and include eight seats.
