Also, back by popular demand we will host amazing Raffle Prizes! Raffles include Hastings community experiences! Wining, dining and other unique local experiences!
NEW this year guests will participate in a Dessert Dash! Your table will ‘bid’ on a dessert for the table! Will it be Tiramisu, a Flourless Chocolate Cake, or an Ice Cream Cake? It is bound to be amazing and some added excitement too!
