Tickets for the event are available now! Guests can purchase them in advance for $10 at the Lee County Council on Aging (weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or from any Board member. Tickets will also be available at the door for $15.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, have fun, and support our seniors. We encourage everyone to participate, whether by nominating someone for King or Queen, attending the event, or simply voting to support their favorite nominee.
