    Join My Possibilities for A Very Special Evening

    By Beth Palmer | HIPster Blog | 0 comment | 24 April, 2020 | 0

On Thursday, Dec. 3, we will have a magical evening full of entertainment with Wayne Brady, music, dancing and food, along with our popular raffle, silent auction and wine pull at the Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas. Take a moment to review the FAQ below.
