FUNDRAISING EVENT

St. Joe’s Comedy Wedding | Saturday May 24th | 7:00pm

Join us for the most outrageously anticipated event of the year: the wedding hilarity of Lora Ellen of the ridiculously refined North End Bentons and Billy of the delightfully notorious South End Henshaws. These families have feuded harder than reality TV stars and are now putting the drama aside for one day only. Or will they? Witness this glorious collision of love and family pride in the Scottish Rite auditorium, followed by an evening of unsolicited dancing, and laughter loud enough to rattle Elwood. Dress to impress, come hungry, and get ready for a wedding that’ll be talked about for years.

On the menu is Chef Gina’s mouthwatering beef tenderloin, green beans, salad, and mashed potatoes. There will be a full cash bar.
