Ridgely’s Record
Annual neighborhood holiday party
The holiday season is fast approaching and that means it’s time for our annual neighborhood holiday party! This year, we’re spreading the cheer at Pickles Pub, on the first floor in the “Sugarmore” area. Join us on December 8th starting at 6 pm for an evening of festive fun, tempting food, and heartwarming company.
Admission is just $5 cash at the door, and this includes your choice of drink specials and heavy appetizers. To add to the sweetness of the evening, we invite our talented neighborhood bakers to contribute to our potluck dessert table. Please bring your favorite holiday treat to share and let’s indulge in a delightful array of homemade goodies.
No holiday party is complete without a special visit from Santa Claus! If you’ve been good this year, he may allow you to take a photo with him.
Mark your calendars and join us for an unforgettable evening of holiday cheer. We can’t wait to celebrate the season with everyone!
