Gringo Bingo

Back by popular demand, this old standard is made more interesting and exciting through the addition of strategies used not only to win in one evening, but also over the course of the entire 2017 series. Real pesos are at stake, and players will have a chance to sweeten their cruising kitties if they play their bingo cards right. If you've watched or participated in the play in previous years, you'll remember the smiling faces, laughter, and friendly cursing that make this evening so much fun.

Mexico Night

"La Patrona" (Marisa Bango) is a very popular singer who has been performing to sold-out houses in La Cruz for the last year. We have been fortunate in convincing her, along with her backup musicians, to perform for us during a night with a distinctly Mexican flavor. Even though Spanish may be a challenge for some of us, you will feel like she is singing only to you as she moves among the crowd. Our chefs will offer a selection of Mexican dishes to accompany the music of the region. This is an evening that you don't want to miss! Cocktails will start at 6pm, followed by a Mexican dinner at 6:30pm, and the show at 7pm. The dinner will include tortilla soup, chicken enchiladas, a taco and rice and beans.
