The Centennial Station Arts Center is in a historic freight train station that was built in the 1930s.

The evening will include WW & The Prohibition Band, the Three Graces Dancers, and dinner by Plain & Fancy. There will also be an outdoor cigar bar, blackjack table, specialty drinks and plenty of photo opportunities. Costumes are not required to attend, however there will be a prize for the best roaring 20's attire. Plus, there will be silent auction items for guests to bid on.
