Steps to Purchase

Starting May 15, confirmed registrants will be separated into groups and notified of their assigned time slot for the online table sale, scheduled later that week. The earlier a resident registers, the earlier they can purchase a table once the sale is.
  3. Online Table Sale (May 16-17) — On the day of the assigned timeslot, registrants will be emailed a ticket sales link. Upon selecting and purchasing a table, tickets will be emailed to the buyer. Individual tickets can be transferred to other guests electronically.

  • Teamwork. We create a climate in which all employees work together and support the individual talents and contributions of team members. We celebrate successes and see mistakes as opportunities for growth; we will never willingly let a member of our team fail.
  • Accountability. We are responsible to our community and each other for our personal and organizational decisions, actions and performance results. We are committed stewards of our City’s assets and resources.
  • Positive Attitude. We focus our efforts on constructive behavior, attitudes and solutions. We promote an environment that people love going to every day – a place where each individual can find a sense of belonging, inspiration, enjoyment and meaning.
