Sun City has been celebrating its 25th anniversary, but the grand finale will be held on Thursday, October 10. Prairie Lodge will host many activities for the celebration, offering two time slots to enjoy the festivities. The lodge will be closed for this event, and residents will require a ticket.
Bill Niemasz, Sun City Board President, said, “The Lifestyle Committee seems to have put together an action-packed event that is worth the twenty-five-year wait.”
Prepare to be entertained with a diverse range of performances at the celebration. Vito Zatto will bring his unique blend of stand-up comedy, celebrity impersonations, and soulful singing to Sun City. Frank Cassano, known for his captivating ‘Frank Sinatra’ act, will serenade the audience with his voice and trumpet. A pianist will set the mood, and you can enjoy various musical genres while sipping your drink or participating in activities.
Bob Olesen, Sun City Board Member liaison to the Lifestyle committee, said, “The Lifestyles group has worked very hard to make a spectacular event. It is a Vegas-style event with a casino room and two live entertainment stages. Elvis will help renew your vows. My favorite will be the free ice cream room. Jameson has outdone themselves with a great selection of appetizers. All this is included in your price of admission.”
The price of admission is $20 for three hours of fun. Free gambling chips are provided to try your luck at the blackjack and roulette tables. Winners will cash in for a chance to win raffle prizes.
Enjoy the ‘museum’ showcasing Sun City from 1999 to 2024. Don’t forget your camera to snap a photo with Elvis or at the Vegas photo backdrop. A caricature artist will capture your spirit in a sketch.
No celebration is without chances to win a raffle prize. Register at Prairie Lodge at the members’ or fitness desk to participate. Two tickets limit per household. Two sessions: Session I from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m., Session II from 4:00 to 7:00.
